Looking For Macro Lens Recommendations

My wife just purchased a Canon 60D last year and it's great for taking full tank shots, but I'd love to get a macro lens to help me take better shots of individual plants close up. I'm hoping not to spend more than $300 for the lens. Any good recommendations?

I certainly wouldn't expect it to be the same quality; especially not for $10. :D

Still, it might be fun to play around with while I look for a deal on a used nice lens. It seems the lenses everyone recommends are more in my budget when they are used.

Both the canon 50mm and 60mm macro's are cheaper on amazon by $50 bucks or so.
If you already own a fast prime you could spend $100 on canons 250D or 500D close up lens. It screws on your current lens like a filter would. If you want to go really cheap just turn your 50mm prime backwards and hold it over the sensor in place with your hand :p
