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.
