macro is all about depth of field hehehe the higher the F stop the more of the subject will be in focus. The lower the less. As mentioned above in a lot of cases a tripod is needed its to your benefit if it can get fold low and even have a macro arm on it. I mostly hand shoot my macros but I've kind of practised till i am sick of macros as people will see in my gallery.

Do a photo merge with a macro lens? They all would be in focus, or take three photos and stitch away?

I do like it and it is interesting. In order to focus on both flowers, they have to be in the same plane
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
wat do u mean by the same plane?
thanks for that
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
These are 2 definitions I found for the word 'plane' on internet:
1. A level or rectilinear surface, destitute of elevations or depressions; a curved surface cannot be plane because it is not rectilinear
2. A flat surface such that the shortest route between any two locations on the surface is entirely contained within the surface.
Your problem is being caused by the 'depth-of-field'. Normally a macro lens does not have a great depth-of-field (it can only focus on one distance), therefore in order to have all 3 flowers in full focus they have to be at equal distances from the lens, i.e. they have to lie within the same plane.
I hope this helps you. If you need further clarifications let me know. Good luck.

hmm interesing...thanks for that
my boyfriend was sayin something about the depth of field
its really annoying tho coz i want the whole piccy in focus otherwise it wrecks the rest of it! lol
thanks again

Welcome Leash. That is the challenge in macro photography, getting your picture composed and in focus while keeping in mind the depth of field.

wonderful shot, macro lenses tend to have a very small depth of field i believe, so you might wanna open up your aperture, probably need a tripod as someone else mentioned.

thanks!
the camera guy said something about aperture! do u have any idea how to do it with my camera! lol i dont know much about it!
thanks for that

if i recall correctly you have a rebel, should be pretty much the same as most cameras. I assume you have it in some sort of manual mode, it's usually one of the first options, it's measured in f-stops. hope this helps 
If you're not sure, try looking up some tutorials.

yeh i have a rebel...im gonna go finde some tutes to read
thanks heaps for that

I'm not too sure about macro lens,
but i would have thought you'd need a smaller f stop, to get a larger depth of field, but then you'll need a longer shutter time, and so more than likely need a tripod.
Cos you'll want to keep the ISO low, to keep the sharpness.
Might be completly wrong, but thats what i think..

yeh its really annoying me!!!
ill have to have a fiddle round with it...maybe find someone who has one and get them to teach me! i dunno heaps about the lenses and depth of field and stuff
i dont even know how to use all the functions on my camera lol! i have to do a course
thanks for that tho

Well from what i've learnt and read, if it is a larger aperture like f2.8 (the smaller the number the bigger the hole) As it is bigger you can have shorter shutter speeds because it takes in more light, but depth of feild is reduced/
Were as.. say.. F16 is much smaller, so you'd need a greater length of time on the shutter time, but you'd have a greater depth of field.
There are plenty of website and probably even soome tutorials on here, explaining the basics
