Thanks everyone (so far) for looking, and the kind and constructive 
comments.

Ric,
I tried it a while back with some ammonite fossils and it worked very 
well indeed on my Canon 9900F.
I must see if I can prop up the lid to clear the flowers without 
crushing them, maybe if I make a frame of some sort round them it might 
work, more on this idea when I've got time to play around with it.
cheers
Douglas
