Blue flowers rarely photograph well without special filtration. The
best results I've gotten are from photos taken in open shade, or with
Kodak Gold film, which has remarkably good blue flower color rendition.
For general flower photography, however, I prefer Fuji's color films,
because they tend to produce more "saturated" colors, while Kodak's
films tend to produce more pastel versions.
