These might not be the most impressive focus-stacks out there, but at least I gained some insights into the intricacies of plant reproduction. These are 10-20x objectives with desk lamp lighting.
First are some very small mimosa flowers. Many tiny flowers form a bigger ball, I'm sure this has some correct terminology that I don't know, I'll go with balls. and many of these balls form the inflorescence. I'm not exactly sure of the species but I think it's Acacia dealbata.
