Merrily,
I can't vouch for your eyesight, but in my experience weather conditions
has a lot to do with the color. A hot and dry day will make the colors
fade and seem much lighter and on the flip side a colder day will
intensify the colors. Pictures can also be deceiving. Blues are
notorious for NOT coming true on film, they usually come out purple or
violet.
I have been to many iris conventions and gardens all over the country
and generally the iris are similar (as to color).
