Shrinking Violets? (NOT!)

The first two pics are of the same flowers

using two different settings on the camera. One was "soft skin portrait", and the other was

"forced flash off scenery" (I think).

The resulting change in tint almost makes it look like two different plants.

This next one IS a different one, obviously.

The story that accompanies the photos is the sort of thing I usually tell on my multiply site, but, since the colors kind of match my blog's colors, I couldn't resist putting them here.

Turns out the colors also went well with one of my other blogs, so the story ended up over there.
