I agree with Julie - cameras make such a HUGE difference - even the setting on the camera or the filters. Here is an example. This is the same flower, photos taken a minute or so apart - one with a Nikon and one with a Canon. Would knowing what type of soil they were grown in make any difference - cameras "see" daylily color so differently that I don't really think you can really go by them. That is why I always say to try to see the flower in person before buying, if color is going to matter that much to you.
