Ver nice blloms Betty. I have noticed that sometimes I have to focus my camera at something else (foliage, mulch, etc) with just a bit of the bloom in it (so I can see the color) and it will show more of an accurate color than if directly focusing on the bloom. I will push the button (that takes the photo) halfway down,this shows if it's in focus or not, and then move it over to the bloom and take the photo. As long as I keep the button held down halfway it will keep the coloring I'm trying for.
