厳密な違いを説明します。
花は美しいと思います(過去も、現在も、未来も 美しいと思う)
花は美しいと思っています(現在は美しいと思う、しかし、未来に美しいと思うかどうかは不明)
花は美しいと思いました(過去に美しいと思ったことを、現在説明している)
ただし、日本語を母語とする人は、上の説明のように厳密に区別をして使い分けしていません。

yanosaさんのご回答に私も同意します。私は時制の区別のほかに、次のようなニュアンスの違いを感じます:
「〜と思います」
→意見の主張をしている。
「〜と思っています」
→暫定的な意見の主張をしている。
「〜と思いました」
→感想を述べている or 過去の考えを振り返って述べている。
