Wonderful! I'm going to an orchid festival in 3 weeks and hope to get some nice shots like yours. Will probably opt for the 90mm macro.

Found the 100mm was far too narrow so you might want to make sure your 30mm is in your bag.

Thanks for the advice!

I like that peach blossoms composition! The flowers were so aligned.

Nature Amigo, the blossoms grow directly off the branch and I could not single out just one blossom

My allergies can confirm that!

You were right, 90mm was challenging. And since I foolishly did not take your advice, I left the 30mm macro at home. Here are a few straight from the camera...
