Since I don't have a "MACRO" lens I do the best I can at zooming in and make a good crop. This is from our flower garden using the Nikon Z6ii with ftz adapter and my28-300 @300mm.

First nice closeup shots. Second, I use a 77mm NISI closeup filter with my 24-120 lens on my Z6ll to get a macro effect. The 24-120 S is great at closeup but adding the NISI lens gives the macro effect and there is no significant drop off in quality. Just another option to consider.
 
Nice shots from what must be a nice garden! Those of us who like to shoot closeups often progress to wanting to get closer and a high quality closeup filter is a great way to get started. If you get in close, you will be amazed at what you find in your flowers. I have not used the NISI filters but have good success with my old Canon 500D (discontinued but still out there). With my 70-200 set at 200mm the filter gives a magnification range of about .4 to .6x with arm's length working distance which makes management of subject parallelism and skittish critters easier than my 105 Micro and is my basic setup for documenting the invertebrates in my milkweed patch. I also keep a step down ring on my 200-500 and occasionally use the filter at up to 350 mm.
