These datura plants grow wild as weeds in our area. I find the trumpet shaped flowers to be quite beautiful, and I picked these from alongside the road in our neighborhood.
I lit this with a Yongnuo YN560-II in a Honl snoot behind the flower at about 1 o'clock as the main source of life. I wanted the rim lighting that this provides and the way it makes the translucent flower appear to glow. For fill light I used a Yongnuo YN560 in a softbox in front and to the right at about 5 o'clock. Both speedlites were in manual mode and were triggered by Tiny Triggers from scottrobertstudio.com.
Other plants and flowers 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. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/

Flowers in the gardens at Loseley Hall, Surrey, UK. I love the way the stalks of the now dead poppies seem to thread through the daisies.
One of the most unusual rhododendrons I've seen has large bell-shaped flowers in dense circular trusses. It is a long leafed variety native to the northeast Indian states of Manipur and Nagaland where it grows at altitudes of 2400 - 3000 meter (7875 - 9850 feet). It thrives at sea level in the temperate climate of the Botanical Gardens in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park.
Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.
