On that note, it is nice to number your images so they are easier to reference later. Especially when so many are posted at once.

Yeah, I don't take pictures of flowers. I have with my iPhone, but that's it. I find flowers boring to take pictures of. I take pictures of insects because they are dynamic. Always moving.
