Any suggestions given would be very much appreciated!

Thank you!
when you have the flower selected in Photoshop inverse selection then go to menu help Eport transparent just do the steps this will give you an EPS file with a transparent background [ path locked in file]. the EPS file if you want to check it has worked do not press open, go down the menu and select Place instead.
