Just the usual sharpening and noise removal.
I used a home-made diffuser with the built-in flash for lighting - usually at 1/300th to 1/2000th of a sec. The good thing about bridge cameras is that most of them will sync at anything so I just give the thumb-wheel a spin to get it up over 1/200 somewhere and then set the f-number for distance and the DOF I'm trying for. Another good thing about bridge cameras is that the EVF is always showing a near perfect DOF preview so i can dial it right in.
I tutorialized the home-made diffuser. I'll add a link to it in this thread after posting it up. Just putting on some finishing touches.
Where're the girls All I see is a bunch of beautiful flowers. Your title is misleading mate!!
The lighting is excellent! They're so beautifully detailed, specially #6. One critique if I may, the composition of #9 is a bit off with the top of the flower being cropped.
Agree with your assessment of flowers vis-a-vis ladies! I love flowers and love shooting flowers. You've got some lovely shots here. Particularly like #9, cropped top petal and all...gorgeous light in all of them.
Lovely series, especially your lighting. I have unlimited access to orchid species but struggle with the shots. Thanks for your inspiration to put more effort in. These shots are sweet!

Thank you Mr. Hawk!
Wow, everyone is kind. I thought they were just OK-ish.

Amazing lighting and colour saturation!
With No 1 my eyes swing to and fro because of the pale object on the right.
To and fro, to and fro, your eyes are getting heavy, very heavy, I will count backwards from 10 and when I reach one you will be in my complete control, to and fro, to and fro. hehee
I feel that Nos 4 and 9 are (very slightly) too tightly cropped, taking off just the tip of a petal in each.
Yup. I see just what you mean. I agree too. Awesome tip! It's framing I need to work on though as none of these were cropped besides #2.
