Living Stone Succulent Flowers
This plant is a type of succulent called Lithops from the Greek word meaning "stone". The plants are also called "pebble plants" or "living stones" because they look like stones when they're not in flower. Where it's positioned in our yard, the flower is only open for about two hours a day.
Strobist info: Simple soft lighting from one YN560-II in a 24 inch softbox, camera left at 9 o'clock about 4 inches from the subject. For fill light I hand held a large, silver reflector disk at camera right. The flash, in manual mode, was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. In the description for that set, I list resources that I've used to learn how to light with off camera flash, and the equipment that I use. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/
