Reds with bluish tinge
Red flowers always have a marked bluish tinge. I use a Panasonic FZ20. Other images such as landscapes, birds etc do not show this effect. I have searched the instruction book to no avail. I assume there are camera settings which will solve this problem. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks in advance.

This is a typical example of the problem. The flower - a Pyramidal orchid was much redder. Hope the file is attached. Not sure if I have followed the correct procedure.

No photograph to be seen! However, I seem to remember reading somewhere that certain flowers reflect wavelenths that we can not see but film/sensors can and this shows up in the image when on screen or printed.

Second try at attaching a photo showing bluish tinge to basically red flower. If unsuccesful would appreciate advice on how to do it.

I played with your photo in Photoshop reducing the blues & reds actually and I could not see any real discernible difference between the two.
Now maybe it's my monitor but this looks more lilac in color than blue. Am I seeing a different color than everyone else? |

Yes it looks lilac to me too. If there are a few strong colours in the scene it can often bias the Auto White balance in the wrong direction. I often include part of a grey card in the corner of the frame if I want Colour accuracy.
