C'est Magnifique
Every year the San Diego Epiphyllum Society has a show on Mother's Day in Balboa Park. My wife grows these "cactus flowers" so every year we try to attend the show. This particular flower won a prize and the variety is called C'est Magnifique.
My wife was in the role of voice activated lightstand and she held the Yongnuo strobe in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box above the flower at camera right. The flash, in manual mode, was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N. I used camera settings that caused the background to go quite dark so that my strobe lit flower would stand out.
Over the years, I've taken quite a few "Epi" pictures, and they're in my Epiphyllum Flowers album, if you like that sort of thing.

I've photographed a lot of plants and flowers, because they're all around us, work cheap, and never complain. I have an album of these images with over 800 pictures, and for each one, I have described how I lit them, in case you're interested in that kind of thing.
