Mr. Rai: welcome... If you could please take several pictures of this unusual Vitex,,, My suggestion, if I may... try taking pictures at early dawn or just after or very near sunset... dawn or just after is better for the soft lateral light which is better to bring out blues or violets...
and if you are later than dawn, by 8 or 9 am... in your digital camera .. setting exposure compensation EV to be -0.3 to -.0.7 or even -1.0 EV... and macro mode would bring out the characteristics... Inflorescence is best depicted from the side.. showing the shape and branching of the spray... if seeds are formed.. seeds on the twigs on the plant... and then reduce the size of your pictures to about 150 KB or so, may be upto 190... send as many as you wish... but start a new thread... GUIDELINES for these are at this URL: https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/posting-guidelines I have special interest in VItex , be it negundo or vitex vitex and orthers of this genus... so am eager see your pictures... hopw they depict the color you described here... LET ME SAY IT AGAIN...please start a new thread... in Gmail its compose.. address it to efloraindia... I believe the address comes up automatically... and cc to whoever... most addresses would come up automatically after you visit eflora site a few time and interact in the threads... Thanks...
