     Aye, there's the rub.  And it's not just flowers.  As I found back in the 
lengthy thread about digital B&W, these digital cameras are making adjustments 
to what is recorded instead of recording what we are seeing, as would a film 
camera.  The result of that is I now only take colour photos, correcting for 
the overall light temperature with 81 or 82 series filters so that the camera 
is less apt to make corrections by way of its "opinions", especially with B&W.
