Maroon Daylily
 I photographed this beautiful flower in my daughter's garden a couple of days ago.  I used camera settings that let the background go quite dark and then lit the flower with a Yongnuo flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box, hand held by my wife at camera left.  The flash was 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 1200 pictures, and for each one, I have described how I lit them, in case you're interested in that kind of thing.
