flower colour in the OP's
I borrowed a silver glove from the bandmaster for the first round of pictures, hoping that it would be easier to capture the subtleties than using a white card as I did last year. Not entirely thrilled with the results but it's a start. I also need more flowers to open so that I can check carefully the colour stages.
A few of the early flowering guests are OP's, so I'll show those as a reference, for what I should expect.
The "black" flower anther cone as in Owen's Purple is a greenish yellow, and will darken to amber but not the warm orange typical of reds.
Mazarini soon after opening has already a more intense and warmer yellow colour which will darken a warm shade of orange as it ages.
