I have never seen such a green eye zone, I see in another photo where it is not so green, it it just the light and camera differences or climate... any ideas?

TIme of day is a factor, of course. I took these this AM at around 7 AM before the sun hit. The bloom does have a lot of green, which is one of the things Tim Herrington hybridizes for.

My camera does the same thing early in the morning, before the sun warms the light.
