They are like Lupine. Sometimes blue-ish sometimes more purple-ish. LOL Either way they are beautiful. Love what you've done here Colleen. Again it looks dimensional. We are moving into 3-D photography. Stunning light and color.

PS my light was greenhouse light. LOL #1167365

Well, my lilies of the nile (shown here) are actually more violet (or purplish). But the mid-day light, and AWB rendered them very blue.

So was your greenhouse light artificial? Or sunlight coming through the greenhouse? #7842163
