blue flowers

Hannu Jarventaus was concerned because slides or prints of blue flowers 
did not accurately represent the blue of the flower:

I have had this problem using Ektachrome Elite to photograph blue Iris, 
the color is "off". I don't think it is an infrared or ultraviolet 
problem. I think this is due to a "conflict" between the pigments in the 
flowers and the way a particular slide film records these colors. Since 
different slide films are known to give slightly different 
representations of the same color, the "solution" is to try a 
different film. Color correcting filters might also be of use.
