Flowers in close-up

My camera is an ordinary DC, not DSLR, so I don't have a real marco lens. Mostly I use the 'little flower' lens of DC while taking flower shots (somehow I rather consider these are close-up picture, not marco), in order to have a better DOF, and avoiding the distractions of annoying background. But focus and hand shake are the new problems. My one and only one stupid solution is, taking more pictures. I wonder do they make real differences between the flowers in close-up with our visual experience of everyday life.
