Yesterday all of the petals fell off of the one poppy flower that I had been photographing, so I decided to build my own flower, and arranged the petals on a mirror to photograph.
Strobist Info: Simple lighting from the side as I wanted to create the shadows that reveal shape and textures. One YN560-II in a 24 inch softbox about 5 inches from the mirror, camera left at 9 o'clock. I didn't need to use a black background because the exposure that I used - f 22, 1/200 sec and iso 200 didn't record any ambient light - just the light from the flash. 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/
It's spring and California's golden poppies are in bloom. This one came from my sister's house.
Lighting: A three light setup. Two Yongnuo strobes in soft boxes in front of the flower on either side. Back lighting is from a 3rd flash in a Rogue grid behind the flower on the right side. The strobes, in manual mode, were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.
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 1100 pictures, and for each one, I have described how I lit them, in case you're interested in that kind of thing.
This is another of the epiphyllum flowers that my wife grows. It's a great division of labor; she grows them, and I get to photograph them.
I wanted to shows the translucent quality of the petals by back lighting, so I placed a Yongnuo flash in a Rogue grid behind the flower. Fill light came from two additional Yongnuo strobes in 24 inch soft boxes, placed on either side and pointed at the center. The strobes, and my tripod mounted camera, were triggered by 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.

This flower came from the garden this morning.
Lighting stuff: Backlit with a YN560-II in a Rogue Grid behind and to camera left. Fill came from a YN560-III in a 24 inch softbox in front and camera right at 5 o'clock. The strobes, in manual mode, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.

Well, it's nice when a decoration in the house is a decent photographic subject.
Lit with a Yongnuo strobe in a 24 inch gridded soft box at camera right, and a 2nd Yongnuo flash in a Rogue grid hand held overhead and pointing down to the center of the flower. By using an aperture of f/18.0 and checking my focus in live view, I was able to get the entire flower in focus. The strobes were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.

These blossoms were picked in the garden this afternoon, and brought indoors where it's easier to control the light.
I wanted reflections, so I placed the blossoms on a mirror. Lit with a Yongnuo strobe in a soft box at camera right, another Yongnuo strobe in a Rogue grid for back lighting at camera right and a small hand mirror at camera left for fill. The flash was triggered with a Yongnuo trigger.
I have taken a lot of pictures of flowers using lights, and these are in my Strobe Lit Plants album, if you want to check them out.
One of the few flowers blooming right now in our garden.
Lighting stuff: Main light was a YN560-III in a 24 inch soft box at camera right to create the side lighting that causes shadows and reveals shapes and texture. Fill came from a small mirror at camera left. I also positioned a YN560 in a Rogue grid at camera right and behind the flower for a little back lighting.

Oil/Water abstracts.
Strobist info - Handheld Canon 580EXII wearing a Rogue Grid fired with the Ninja flash trigger at 1/16 - 1/8 power.
This is one of my sister's shells that I borrowed and took home to exploit.
Lighting stuff: I wanted to show the translucent qualities of the shell and make it glow by backlighting it, so I placed a YN560 in a Rogue grid behind the shell at camera left. Lighting for the front came from a YN560-III in a 24 inch softbox at camera left and pointing towards the center at a 45 degree angle. Fill light came from a small mirror handheld at camera right. The strobes, in manual mode, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N. I originally photographed it on both a mirror and a black card, but neither worked very well because the black edges of the shell blended in with the background. To separate the shell from the background I Photoshopped in a background that blended between two shades of gray. That was tedious.
I find sea shells to be beautiful objects from nature, and have photographed quite a few of them over the years. Other shells that I have photographed are in my creatively named Shells album. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157626043932290
This orchid seems to be thriving on minimum care.
Strobist info. The main light was a YN560 in a Rogue grid. I positioned it behind the flower because I wanted the luminous petals that backlighting provides. Below in the comments is a picture of the flower with just the backlighting. For fill light, I put a YN560-II in a 24inch softbox right close to the flower, camera right at 3 o'clock, and then handheld a small mirror camera left to bounce a little light into the center. The strobes, in manual mode, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.

Ouija Board. For when you just can't find the Droids you're looking for...
In 2013, I'm doing a 365 shot a day project with the theme "Toys. When you're not looking". The idea is to capture familiar toys dealing with the situations and challenges that life throws at them in the real world, just like a human would.
From the garden this afternoon.
Lighting stuff: I used 3 Yongnuo YN560-III's to light the flower. To show the luminous qualities of the back petals, I place a strobe in a Rogue grid behind the flower at camera left and another strobe in a Honly snoot behind at camera right. Fill light came from a strobe in an 8,6 inch Lastolite soft box in front at camera left pointing towards the center. The strobes, in manual mode, were triggered by a Yonnuo RF-603N. I adjust the power output on the strobes individually until I got the look I wanted.

This is a flower that I picked from the garden this afternoon, and brought inside to exploit.
Lighting: I placed a Yongnuo strobe in each of two 24 inch soft boxes positioned on the right and left side of the flower. I hand held a 3rd strobe in a Rogue grid and pointed it at the very center of the flower in order to bring out the deep scarlet center. The strobes, in manual mode were triggered by a Yongnuo trigger.
Other strobe lit flowers that I've documented are here:

We're having warm weather now in southern California (it was 89 degrees when I picked these), and after the recent and heavy winter rains there are a lot of flowers coming into bloom. These were blooming alongside the road in our rural neighborhood.
I brought these inside to photograph so that I could control the light, and not have to get down on my knees. The main light was a Yongnuo strobe in a 24 inch gridded soft box at camera left. Fill light came from a Yongnuo strobe in a 24 inch soft box at camera right. I used a third Yongnuo strobe in a Rogue grid behind and to camera left for back lighting.
Just something growing out of the wall next to our house.
Tech: Handheld EOS 60D with the gridded speedlight mounted on a tripod camera right. I set the ambient about a stop under and adjusted the speedlight to taste.
Another look at the same tulip that I posted the other day.
This was a three light setup. Back lit with a Yongnuo in a Rogue grid behind the flower. I used another Yongnuo strobe in a 24 inch soft box at camera left, and a 3rd strobe in a Lastolite soft box at camera right. Triggered with a Yongnuo trigger.

Down below you can see, in the comments, you can see the shot that this setup produced. The only difference in the lighting between the two is that, in this shot, I added an additional bare YN560 on a light stand and pointed at the white ceiling to bounce some light on the camera and other lighting equipment. I photographed this with my D90 that had a Yongnuo RF-603N trigger on its hot shoe. That flash was in manual mode and was triggered along with all the others when I pressed the shutter.
I've now included enough setup shots that I decided to create of Set of them, which you can see here if you find the pictures helpful. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157642517882554/
Strobist Info:
Single 580EX II in a Westcott RapidBox Duo at 1/2 power, 24mm zoom, on camera axis, supported by a Manfrotto 420B boom. Deflector plate, inner baffle, outer diffuser and egg crate grid in place. Yongnuo YN622C-TX trigger.
Thunder Gray seamless background lit by a Single 580EX at full power, 24mm zoom with a 45 degree Rogue Grid and Steel Green gel, on the floor behind the subject.
This cape honeysuckle is in bloom in our garden right now so I decided to exploit it.
Lighting stuff: I wanted to show the luminous quality of the orange flowers so I back lit it by placing a YN560-III in a Rogue grid behind the flowers at camera right. Fill light came from another YN560-III in a rogue grid at camera left, in front. The strobes, in manual mode, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.

These seed heads are growing out of a succulent plant in a container in our garden. I brought it inside to photograph where it's easier to control the light, and I don't have to sit on the ground to photograph it.
Lighting info: The back lighting came from a Strobie 130 in a Rogue grid placed behind the plant camera left at 11 o'clock. Fill light came from a YN560 in a 24 inch soft box placed camera right in front at 5 o'clock. Both strobes and my tripod mounted camera were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.

I was looking for subject matter to photograph, and a family member brought this over to exploit.
Strobist info: I wanted to create the shadows which would reveal the folds of the robe so I went for side lighting. The main light was a YN560-II in a 24inch softbox camera left about 3 inches from the figure. I used a silver reflector disc on the right side for fill, and then (which was probably unnecessary) a Strobie 130 with a Rogue grid for rim lighting on the head and shoulder. The two strobes, in manual mode were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.

I picked this flower from our garden this morning. It's a rebloomer, and blooms off and on all year long. Because of the drought in our part of the world we quit watering all of the iris in our garden that don't bloom more than once a year.
Lighting stuff: I wanted to show the translucent quality of the leaves to I placed a YN560-III in a Rogue grid behind the flower at camera right. Fill light came from an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box, hand held at camera left and pointing towards the center. The strobes, in manual mode were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.

This is one of the individual flowers that were on the plant I brought home yesterday. I converted the color version of this image to black and white using Nik software's Silver Efex Pro 2. You can see the color version down below in the comments.
Lighting stuff: I wanted dramatic, rather than even lighting, so I used my lights accordingly. The main light was a YN560-II in a 24 inch softbox at camera right, and I used a YN560-III hand held in a Rogue grid to light up the "bit" (a technical botanical term) growing from the center of the plant. Both strobes, in manual mode, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.

This beautiful figurine is made from what appears to be either jade or glass, as it is translucent.
Strobist info: To make it glow, I put a Strobie 130 in a Rogue grid behind and to the right of the subject at 1 o'clock. The strobe, in manual mode, was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N. I held a silver reflector disc in front of the figure in an attempt to shed a little more light there. As you can see the colors vary depending on the thickness of the material.

I wanted a high contrast look for this black and white, and I particularly wanted rim lighting.
Lighting stuff: The rim lighting and backlighting came from a YN560 in a Rogue grid behind and to the right of the flower. I kept adjusting it until I got the look I wanted. Fill light came from a YN560III in a 24 inch softbox at camera left. The strobes, in manual mode, was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.

Just did a quick review of the new Rogue Grid by ExpoImaging...
Check out the review HERE.
Strobist: Nikon SB-800 in a Lastolite Ezybox above and slightly camera left just out of frame, triggered with the pop-up flash via CLS
Update:
3rd place winner in the Nikon Club Nederland "foto opdracht": "een muziekplaat"
D90 with pop up flash >> trigger for the sb900 that was located in front of the viewing direction of the LEGO head. The SB900 was fitted with a roque grid flash color filter (blue) to create a blacklight effect. The turntable at the back is actually an projection on a computer screen ;-)
