No, I don't think so. It was very hot and very brillant outdoors when I took the pic and my camera is ancient from a technology standpoint. I cannot manually adjust the white balance. The 2nd picture of the same bloom, I took today, inspite of the rainy conditions and curling up to "die" demonstrates that it is indeed a red orange.

I have noticed though that some hybridizers describe "red" beards that are really "pink" to my eye and "pink" beards that are of an orange shade.

For those of you following, here's the 2nd shot of my Marksman. Edited to say: Beware the shot you are about to see is ugly and really unfocused.
