For the most part, you'll probably want to shoot the flowers in their environment. But you may also want to tray holding a piece of black mat board behind some to eliminate the background. an 11 x 14 piece would be big enough. If the board is white on one side and black on the other, you can use it as a reflector as well. That would help in shooting backlit blooms, which can sometimes be quite beautiful. Paul
