A lens that wide is difficult to use well unless you are really close to a big subject.  Otherwise the sort of image you can take needs a lot of practice.  If you are asking on here you may need to spend more time on it before taking it as your only lens.  It is easy to take a lot of pictures with a tiny subject surrounded by dull stuff you never really wanted.  This isn't a work of art it is about the plant and its habitat but this is the sort of image very wide lenses are best at.
