Title:
Trifolium repens (White Clover) flower head
Caption / Description:

Infrared photograph of a Trifolium repens (White Clover; Dutch Clover) flower head. The head contains fresh flowers at the top, while older, dead flowers droop towards the bottom of the flower head.

In infrared, the dead flowers appear just as bright as the fresh flowers. The grass in the background also appears very bright, making for a very low contrast image.
