Re: Blooming Today TB Vigilante

The picture I posted is just how it looks.  I have a problem with the
purples showing as blue, but the yellows and golds come through well.
Yesterday I tried taking pictures of Dusky Challenger with every setting of
color balance that my camera has and none of them could capture the deep
purple accurately.  Even Photoshop couldn't get it right.  I give up.

> I've been trying to get a good pic of Vigilante.  The standards always
look more yellow in the pics than the discription.  I was wondering if mine
was actually vigante, as every pic I took has yellow standards. Mine has the
buttercup carmel colored ones in person, but when I try to photograph they
look yellow.  All the reference pics I've found also have the yellow
standards.  Does your vigilante look like this pic, or do the standards
actually have a more carmel pigment?  Thanks..Will Warner

powerful statement in the garden. Its flaring and ruffled falls are smoothly
colored in an extremely deep black-maroon. Buttercup-caramel colored
standards offer a splash of yellow. Superb stems display 8-13 flowers each
from double- and triple-socketed buds.
