Puttytat's photos might be taken on overcast days or late in the day -- I notice color is usually like what my camera shoots when the sun in not on the iris. Expecially with purples/lavs. The red is just not picked up out of the sunlight.

Your new Canon is catching the most accurate iris colors I've yet seen along with a couple other contributors here who have Rebels (MShadow and maybe GMason).

I'm used to cameras having a hard time with certain colors, but I'm also used to seeing the tones all over the place from photo to photo when a color is hard to capture.

In this instance all three photos seemed an awful lot alike and it made me question my plant.

I think it may just be right, but I'll still keep an eye on it. The red to it would explain the "cherry" part of the name.

Thank-you for the help.

Brock:
Your picture matches mine perfectly.

Thank-you for your confirmation, Rod. I'm going to mark it as properly labeled then, because the other photos were the only reason I had to doubt mine.

That is very pretty. thank you for posting it.
