Flowers in Ultraviolet: Arranged by Plant Family

http://www.naturfotograf.com/index2.html

Ultraviolet photography allows colors invisible to humans to be

visualized and flowers are an admirable subject. Quite a few floral

pigments have interesting UV properties. In fact, in many cases, quite

plain-appearing flowers to us, may be striking as viewed by insects,

since they can see more UV than we can.  This site has about 100

species imaged (in over 25 families) and notes on some species without

images.  Some flowers may have colors that extend into the infrared,

but only one is shown at the current time.  An interesting and very

visual site.  Photography by Bjørn Rørslett. (****) -SR
