i took apart a lamp, and ran the cord up through the hole in the bottom of a flower pot - reassembled the socket and propped up inside the pot. clipped a couple piece from one of our plants, and propped those up inside as well.
a 550ex to camera left at 1/4 power aiming down and at the background.
a 430ex to camera right lying down at 1/1 power to side light the flower pot, and bounce some light up under the leaves. i blocked this light to prevent it from lighting the background.
shot at 1/2000th to try to not blow out the bulb. with the flash power being so high - aperture wasn't an option.
hopefully this will do well... i've not done a lot for our team so far... well i've made an effort at least - but scores have been about average.
