For Sharon and anyone else with same problems.

I have overcome this by placing something with writing on it (lens cap is 
often the handiest object)just in front of the flower, at same distance from 
lens. Autofocus will bring that into focus and usually keeps same focus when 
removed and voila, the flower is in focus. I also found that it will focus if 
I use the back of my hand. If all else fails, get if focused on a picture of 
an iris (another flower will do) and then press lightly on shutter ( this 
locks camera into focus and shutter adjustments) and then remove picture and 
finish pressing the shutter. The picture has much the same exposure 
requirements as the flower so exposure is correct and as its flat the camera 
has only one depth of field to choose.

Been there.
