I was shopping for groceries with my wife when we saw
the flowers in the store. We had to admire the Orchids.
I had to take a few Macro shots' as I had my 100mm 2.8 macro lense
mounted at the time.
As I always carry one of my dslr's ( My wife thinks I am nuts )

Critique is always welcome.

You had a good idea having your camera with you. Pictures are everywhere. You captured a fine colorful moment with your wonderfully composed Orchard photographs! AP

Nice shots except for the sharpness, a common problem with macros because of the shallow depth of field. That is why I use a 70-200 on a tripod (not possible here) set to 200. On the first one, I would either crop the top or clone away the extraneous flower in the upper right. In all shots, I would darken the background slightly. A little negative vignetting might help.

As for your wife, you have to decide which body you want to hold. Her's or the camera's. Pro's and con's to both. Good luck with both. I am sure you will make both work.

Lovely orchids! My phalaenopsis orchid often blooms (indoors) throughout the winter.

I found Gold when I met her.
Best thing that ever happened to me.
