April 4, 2013 -- Chinese temple bells and marsh marigolds

I think there is a name for the fact that blue-lavenders don't translate well in photographs. The Ageratum Effect maybe? Whatever the term, it seems to be operating here, because these Chinese temple bells in this photo are a prettier blue-lavender than they appear. And they're gorgeous with yellow marsh marigolds outdoors, so I tried the same combination here.

Verdict: all this is prettier outside.
