Hi all, I am looking for sites or ideas for my wife to maybe sell her pictures.She is very passionate about nature and her flowers.

There are many great photographers here and thought this would be a good place to ask.

We use a Coolpix S6100 with 16 Megapixels.She has had many people say her pics are beautiful.

Any help and links would be greatly appreciated.

Are there any Art Shows in your area during the summer months?  We have bought framed photos from amateur artist at some of the local shows  here. Some shows will charge her to sell her photos so that would be an expense. Is there an area near you where Art Galleries  that will display them on consignment?

Selling nature and flower pix can be a tough market. I know one very gifted professional photographer who has to do corporate shoots to make a living, as his exquisite flowers won't pay the bills. I have a few of his prints and they're breathtakingly beautiful, but he doesn't sell many.

However, there are myriad options to explore other than traditional galleries and shows. Google "selling nature photos" for thousands of ideas.

Ebay is another often overlooked potential marketplace to the entire world, as is Etsy, which specializes in handmade and art products.

Here's a how-to for selling fine art on Etsy...   https://www.etsy.com/seller-handbook/article/tips-for-selling-fine-art-on-etsy/22425080820

Sadly, you'll find that most people buy art because it's "marketed" or "sold" to them, or because "everybody else" buys a particular artist, or just to match the colors in a room...rarely because something in the art speaks to the potential buyer.

It's much like the rest of human activity...
