IMHO, we have just as many variables with types of cameras used,skills of different photographers, and degrees of light as we do soil types or moisture amounts. It would be a wrong assumption to presume that a picture taken in bright sunlight in Houston in the middle of the day has much to do with the type of soil it is grown in! Even here in my one garden, depending on time of day, moisture and light when the picture is taken, a bloom can have five or six different looks. Yes, the soil is important, I'm not discounting it, but I just find it enjoyable to see different images of cultivars, knowing that all of these factors are in play.
I've heard true stories of hybridizers not recognizing their own cultivars grown in different climates, and have seen cultivars growing in other gardens that grow here - unrecognizable!
But I'm not sure I'd take the time to read a bunch of comments about each individual photograph when the picture itself tells the story already. Just my two cents worth....
