Answer 1

I think the best way would be to create a custom user control with picturebox and a label laid out the way you want then add them dynamically to the flowlayoutpanel. making shapes[] an array of the custom control type.

Answer 2

Create a panel for each picture that contains a label docked to Bottom and your picture box docked to Fill. Add this panel to the flow layout panel instead of your picture box. Make sure you add your picture box to the panel's Controls collection first to ensure that the docking works as expected.

shapes[i].Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
flowLayoutPanel1.Controls.Add(
    new Panel {
        Controls = {
            shapes[i],
            new Label {
                Dock = DockStyle.Bottom,
                Text = i.ToString()
            }
        }
    });
