Yes, I had a couple. But yesterday the home master screw flew off, so I can't post it yet. In addition, when shooting with a ring illuminator, the blue is not so clearly visible - they turned out to be burgundy smile.gif. And so, when worn over flowers-almost completely black, like P. turkestanica cyanea, or something.
