This bloom looked to be pointing the way towards Spring - first the flower then the leaves. I couldn't get the true colour as it was really a much deeper purple. Any ideas why?
I have no idea about the colour, however I have noticed that sometimes, when I change the white balance settings, the colour shows differently. Also sometimes my camera doesn't get right the white balance at the "Auto" setting, manually changing it sometimes helps. Maybe if you tried playing a bit with different white balance?
