Thank you mate, another good tip is study during the day at which time is the best natural light in the flower selected for the shot and then take shots during that time. That is what I have done with the common fuschia.
Regarding reflectors test casserole lids and mirrors inside freezer bags. Never get rid of damaged umbrellas, remove the fabric and replace with material that can diffuse the light.
Select the aperture and distance of the lens from the flower to have a clean BG.
When more detail is needed have a small aperture and take the shot far away from the object to get the wanted BG.
Start taking shots
Cheers
