Sony A9+90/2.8 macro - 1/200th, f/4, ISO 500. Handheld in bright sunlight with a cheap white studio umbrella to shade it (it diffused the direct sun and blocked some of the breeze).

Very pretty images!
BTW, there's no problem with the second shot. The forum is named "Macro and Close-up" to give some leeway for situations like this. There's no brightline criterion for what's acceptable, but historically we've been pretty tolerant of anything with a subject frame under 6" wide, except for commonly (over-)worked subjects like hummingbirds and faces of babies. Smaller is better of course. This image strikes me as being more in the 3" range so that's a comfortable fit.
