Jimmy,
I wouldn't worry about calling this macro. There's not a lot of detail here and that's not the special thing to enjoy. It's just the shapes, textures and colors. Anyway, a 70-300 mm lens is unlikely to excel at Macro anyway. When you shoot macro and magnify the subject, the depth of field can get awfully thin. One can use focus stacking, the technic of taking images at at different planes of focus and then building one great picture from them all.
To me, just enjoying the flower is itself worthy and there's no need for you to do more than that.

Thanks Asher, then I will get me an EF-S 55-250 and a macro of maybe 60mm or 100mm

Just one prime lens! A 50 mm, 100 mm or 150mm Macro. The qualities of these lenses are superb and make wonderful portrait lenses too. Using the x1.6 Canon sensor, I'd go for the Canon EF 50 mm Macro as it's less expensive and will give you a better DOF
