Wind is always an issue with outdoor flower photography. For small low flowers a glass or plastic bell like a large sweet jar with the bottom cut out, and a hole for the lens, is one way, the best way is in greenhouse or take flower into studio.
I have set up tripod in perfectly calm conditions started exposures and wind comes from nowhere! Then have to wait ages for it to settle down. This happened at Ness Gardens when I went specially to photograph Pieris Formosa Forrestii, one of the three bushes from the first shipment of seeds sent from China by George Forrest.
Take a look at Michael Erlewine's work, stunning. A short video, more of Michael's work is well worth checking out.
