Not sure what you want to know precisely. I prefer to use a tripod to get good sharp images. I do use a DSLR camera and a close up lens for this type of shot. In this case, on the close up, because there are many different parts to the bloom, I took some multiple images with a different part in focus on each one and then stacked them together so most parts are in focus. Using a small aperture (large number like f14) accomplishes this to a point if you aren't into using Photoshop or other software for it.
I really prefer daylight and with a tripod it doesn't have to be real bright because you can have a slow exposure and no jiggling of the camera. But setting white balance correctly should help with any kind of light.
Hope that helps.
