This is a truly beautiful flower. However, it is a shame that colors are made so intense by manipulating a photo or the lighting. This is evident in the very dark green of the leaves; completely unnatural. It does not help those of us who are considering to purchase it and want to see it's true colors.

Please consider this when posting future photos. Thank you.

Or it could have been taken in the shade or low light conditions. I often get a lot of images with darker foliage. It actually seems to pretty much match all the other photos in the database, all from different members.
