Clown Epiphyllum 528
My wife has been growing Epiphyllum flowers for many years, and this is one of hers that bloomed this morning, and which I documented in the shade underneath a tree.

Lighting info:  Lit with a Yongnuo manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box positioned at camera left.  Fill light is from a hand held mirror at camera right.  The flash and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with 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. For each image in the set, and there are over 1800 of them, I describe how I set up the lighting for that particular shot. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/">www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/</a>

Over the years, I've taken over 170 &quot;Epi&quot; pictures, and they're in my Epiphyllum Flowers album, if you like that sort of thing.
