I'm speculating the reason the flash gave you a black background: I suspect you had a dark background that was some distance from the flower you were photographing. Light from flash falls off very quickly, so while there was enough to give good exposure to the subject (flower), there wasn't enough to reach the background and so it was "underexposed" -- making it black.
I use a black velvet cloth behind my flowers. Black velvet absorbs light and doesn't bounce much back, unlike your blue curtain and black construction paper. Even so, I often have to tweak the background in Photoshop to get it to a true black instead of a very dark gray.
