Thansk you Doris, that's the right approach, no focal length is forbidden( this
is photography), for flowers I'd say use ALL that's imaginable. My favourite:
the 65-200/4 at close-focus (200 mm). 24mm and 300mm (latter with ext tubes)
can also be used a lot. All the power to creativity and fantasy.
