Maroon Colored Orchid In The Light
I photographed this beautiful orchid yesterrday morning in the Botanical Building in San Diego's Balboa Park.  My wife helped me by being my voice activated light stand.  She hand held a Yongnuo manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box, at camera right.  The flash was triggered with an on-camera Yongnuo RF-603N.  I used camera settings that caused the the background to go quite dark.

Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plants 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. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/">www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/</a>
