Clown Epiphyllum Hanging Out
My wife has been growing Epiphyllum flowers for many years now. For most of the year these plants are uninteresting looking pieces of cactus, but in May and June they put out these beautiful flowers. The Clown flowers are her favorite and this one is hanging out by the front door as befits its exalted status.
Lighting stuff: I lit it with a hand held Yongnuo manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box at camera left and just out of the frame. The flash and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.
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.

Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. For each image in the set, and there are over 1300 of them, I describe how I set up the lighting for that particular shot. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/
