I grow so many night blooming plants that over the years I've gotten pretty good at it with trial and error .. I've gotten to where I can capture the 'shimmer' without a color shift of some flowers .. also try backing up and shoot at different distances so your flash scatters a bit more.
I've learned the darker the colors the closer you want to be as they absorb the light and the lighter the colors reflect it.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
