  Lots of flowers reflect light beyond the visible in the ultra violet and infra red to attract insects. Our eyes can't see these but film and digital sensors can to different extents depending on light source, brand, exposure time etc etc, and even in the visible range do not match out eyes responses exactly. Plus our eyes are backed up by an autocompenstaing computer that can't be matched by anything we can buy but often works against us in some situations.
  
  Two tricks that can help with digital photography of bluebells - if your camera has the function, take a white balance reading before each shot. And, again if your camera allows it, experiment by taking a series of over and under exposures at half or third stop intervals and combine them in Photoshop (other image processing software is available) with the High Dynamic Range (HDR) function - doesn't work on a windy day!
