That is a purple and blue orchid for sure. I don't remember seeing
one of that color before.

Hmm, I'm starting to wonder if my monitor needs calibrating, the
orchid should be a light and dark mauve colour.

Ambient light will do a lot to a photo's color.
This one has a decided red cast to a flower that's pink:


Yes, I am aware of that, but it's the second time recently that someone has
said the colour was different to what I see on my monitor.

I could be my eyes or my computer. I didn't hear anyone else comment
about the color. How does the picture compare to the Orchid in real
time? I didn't mean to be critical, I love all your photos.
