How do I take the bomb flower to Dodongo's Cave?

How do I take the bomb flower to Dodongo's Cave? - Woman holding flowers in hands in water

I am playing Ocarina of Time (the 3DS version) for the first time, and I am at the part where I need to enter Dodongo's Cave. I can carry Bomb Flowers, but when I try to take them to the boulder blocking off the entrance, they explode before I can even come near. I noticed a section of the wall that might be bombable, but I can't get the bomb to there without having it explode either, even though it's not that far away. Maybe I'm just not fast enough. I looked up a walkthrough, and it said to throw the Bomb Flower over the fence. The game wouldn't let me do that when I tried; even when I got really close to the fence, the bomb somehow bounced off of nothing and went the other way. What am I doing wrong?
