Achillea ptarmica 'The Pearl' flowers [UV]
Caption / Description:

Achillea ptarmica 'The Pearl' is a Sneezwort cultivar that sports clusters of white double flowers. In ultraviolet the flower appears quite different. In this particular photo the flowers were wet from the morning dew, and the small droplets of water show up very visibly in ultraviolet.
