More Lense questions-Sorry-

I know you fellers have told me over and over, to get the sharpest pictures I need to get the best glass allowed by law. I went back to the camera shop and purchased a different lens, the Canon 18-200mm silver series just didn't have the sharpness that I wanted, so to upgrade I went to the Tamron 18-300mm(the Canon L Pro Series is still out of my money range that I feel I can't rationalize to purchase yet-Am I off the rocker?), though not pictures of trains I was messing around with the zoom on flowers and bees and this is what I got. I don't really like the softness than I get in these pictures of the flowers and I am sure the the L Pro Series is what I am looking for but what do I do?
