Great colours! Turquoise is so difficult. The only other plants I know
with colours that come close are Puya berteroana and Strongylodon
macrobotrys.

No, this is more lime green or chartreuse with blue. I shall try
for a sharper closeup soon.

Leaf green edged with Prussian blue. We used to grow it at home when I
was a teenage. Please post...

Wendy, try the automatically adjust colors in irfanview. See if that
helps the color. I tried it here but don't know if it is what you
want. Under image and down a ways there is the automaticallly adjust
colors.

"Image" menu, then "Color Corrections..." or SHIFT+G once you open a
picture and IrfanView then provides some nice sliders where you can
adjust and get a view as you're messing with the sliders. For that
brightness, you'd slowly slide the Gamma slider to the left to get
rid of the brightness and to the right to add some brightness.

IrfanView ends up as my favorite picture viewer, brightness modifier.
I tend to stay away from automatic everything! I'm the only one to
blame when something goes wrong. g

It is easy to reverse the change if it is not right and it is so easy
to do. I use a number of different methods to adjust pictures, I meant
to just give Wendy an easy method that did change her post but I
should not suggest that she would like it, only a suggestion to try
it.

You're correct. I was just trying to insert a comical comment. I'm
stressed and I things bother me all to easy. My apologies if that
stress showed up in the post.

I figured to double-check and see which mail software Wendy employs
and make sure she's using Windows before I provided a link to
IrfanView, since I believe it's Windows only (although users of
other OS provide ways to run Windows software)...
