Title:
Common foxglove flowers close-up [UV]
Caption / Description:

Close-up photo looking up into the tubular flowers of a Foxglove, photographed in reflected ultraviolet light. In UV the flowers look quite different to how they do in visible light. The inside of the flowers appears darker to the eye when comparing a false colour UV photo against a colour visible light photo, however in terms of tonality they are actually similar.
In UV we see two white strips running either side of the bottom part of the petal. The spots from the bottom seen in visible light are mostly missing in UV. But you can see some darker spots in the white strips, which match up with the spots in those positions seen in visible light.
The style is much darker in UV, while the stigma is still fairly bright. The anthers are a bit darker in UV than they appear in visible light.
