I set up everything next to a bright window (but no direct sun) because I haven't found a source of artificial light which gives as nice results as natural light. I have a large piece of velvety black cloth that I drape on a big box right behind the plant. I had trouble with the pics because the white was coming out way too overexposed, the blooms were just bright white blobs. So what I did was to hold a white paper behind the plant, press the shutter halfway to 'lock' the exposure then remove the paper and take the pic. It's a trick i found on OB. And all of this is done with an average point and shoot, no fancy equipment!
It's so floriforous too! How many flowers is that spike carrying?
