The second photo (pussy willow?) appears to be 1:1 (life-size), which is a true macro-photograph.
Unless the flowers in your first photo are the size of a match head, the image is a close-up photo, not a macro. Any lens, including telephotos & macros, can take a close-up photograph. As per our definition in the Introductory thread, this forum is strictly for macro-photography.

Both photos were taken with the lens listed on the original post. I can send a photo of the front of the lens and you can see it is as posted. Please advise.
Thank you

Many macro lenses are used to take full-face or bust portrait photographs of people. That does not make those portrait photos "macros". Your macro lens can focus to infinity for landscape photographs. That does not make such scenic photos "macros". It is not the lens that determines if a photo is a macro, it is the magnification reproduced on the sensor. If the image on the sensor is exactly the same size as the subject, it is a macro-photograph. Macro lenses do this better than any other lens., but they also take close-up photos, like your first image.Both photos were taken with the lens listed on the original post.
