I have photographed small blossoms of the many herbs I grow.
I use cheesecloth, several layers thick, tacked or stapled to a
canvas stretcher (or old picture frame)
but NOT stretched tightly. I do put a white surface under the
cheesecloth as some background will show through, I have a piece of
foamcore board that is bright white that I have been using for years.
anyway, the weave of the cheescloth is so open that I can thread the
flower stem(s) through it and they will stay in place perfectly.
The white surface underneath reflects enough light so there are no
shadows under the petals.
