The windows in your house can provide some of the nicest light available. In this case, add a skylight for fill light (a reflector will also work fine).

A 180mm macro lens is able to create a strongly-blurred background. The narrow FOV (Field of View) also makes it easier to keep undesirables out of the background in the first place.

When working with your subjects, do not leave any perspective untried. The back of flowers is often very beautiful - as is the case with this tulip.
 
One of the huge advantages for shooting flowers in the studio or indoors in general is the lack of wind. Wind can be the cause of poor framing, inaccurate focusing and motion blur.

This picture of a Fern Leaf Peony represents the approximate minimum focus distance for Tamron 180mm Macro Lens - about 1x magnification. The f/4 aperture keeps the DOF shallow.

Shooting straight down from the top of a tulip yields a classic picture. In this case, a softbox provides even lighting - without shadows.

The Tamron 180mm Macro Lens' focal length and f/3.5 max aperture are able to nicely separate the subject from the background.

While a 180mm macro lens is able to create a strong background blur, it is also able to provide a nice amount of depth of field when the subject permits or requires it - by using a narrow aperture.

A strong light on a white background creates - a white background. The foreground is then lit according to the subject and camera settings.

With an f/5.6 aperture, a slate floor tile is blurred into a smooth gray background. Lighting is abient from a large window.

Apple Tree Flowers Apple Tree Flowers

Apples trees are beautiful when in full bloom. However, capturing attractive pictures of them is somewhat challenging. Here I used a wide aperture to blur the background while keeping a clump of flowers running through the frame sharp. Distracting lines at the edge of the frame have been minimized.
