Printing makes it worse. I know that can be adjusted if I can figure 
out how. How to change the camera is what I would like to know how.


Steve Szabo's and Ruth Vreeland's comments below show just how 
complex and variable is the subject with which we are dealing.  It's 
especially critical when we are dealing with seedlings and trying to 
make a usable record of what was in the progenies.

I'm noticing also this year that from one bloom to the next there is 
a lot of color variation.  This has been especially true with the 
ROMANTIC EVENING tribe--RE itself varies a lot, and apparently so do 
its offspring.  Temperature, humidity, available water and nutrients? 
Makes trying to photograph or record descriptions somewhat complex.

Form on a lot of varieties is varying a lot from bloom to successive 
bloom too.  I don't remember noticing this so strongly in other years.
