Thanks everyone.
Both were done with the camera on Bulb setting in near total darkness.
I had a little pocket keychain LED flashlight (total size is about that of a US quarter).
I opened the shutter and stuck my hand down inside the vase, turned on the LED light and drew the stem upwards then when I got to the top of the stem I drew the flower portion. Then shut the LED off and started the process over again until I thought I had enough flowers. Then I closed the shutter.

I'm guessing it's the wavelength of the LED that gives the blue impression, the light looks white to the eye.

Thanks again,
Jay

Thanks. I used an ISO of 100 and f/22 so there would be little chance of me showing up unless I paused for a very long time. All the light on the table and in the vase is all from the little LED light over the 32 second exposure.

Take care,
Jay
