Hi Mark,
Sounds like a challenging self-assignment. As an enthusiastic flower
shooter, I look forward to seeing your results.
When you look at flowers (and flower photographs), keep in mind that there
is a difference between the symbolism people attached to certain flowers
and the "meaning" of a blossom. Some photographers find the flowers
themselves far more interesting than the uses other people and other
cultures have put them to.
Regards,
