Ludisia discolor is one of the most common grown jewel orchids and is kept primarily for its rich copper-veined leaves. Ultraviolet shifts the white flowers into new color scheme with chlorophyll-bearing bracts glowing a vivid red in contrast to the teal floral glow.

Almost exactly a year ago I recorded these photos as a concept pitch for a project. They didn't make it in but with attention this last week I am happy with what they turned into.

What curiosities are revealed when coaxed by bathing photographic subjects with #ultraviolet light? Especially plants and flowers that fluoresce. Shine a powerful UV torch in darkness and find out. #photography #uvlights #uvivfphotography #ultravioletphotography #uvivf #EastCoastKin #bloomscrolling

More photos of the awesome Cypripedium montanum!
Similar to pitcher plants, the opening allows no purchase and the pollinator (native bees) gets stuck with only one route out. That route specially assures a high chance of pollination upon exiting the flower.

Prunus ilicifolia in UVIVF
Prunus ilicifolia in white light
Prunus ilicifolia is one of my favorite California plants! Amazing nectar source, grows in almost any condition, and historically an important food source for indigenous peoples, each of which developed unique ways to mitigate the cyanide in the seed.

Mohavea breviflora is one of only two species in the genus Mohavea whose distribution is small and localized to the Mojave desert. This species is lesser known and Death Valley represents the majority of its range.

Cypripedium montanum in UVIVF
Cypripedium montanum in white light
Cypripedium montanum, an orchid native to western North America where it grows in montane habitats. With a range barely including California, this species is remarkable for being one of few Californian orchids having large flowers.

This quick video shows how reflected UV, blue+green, and #UVIVF combine in my simulation of how bees might perceive a sunflower. No one of these alone gives the whole picture, and even with all three combined there remains considerable nuance to what really is #beevision

I have spent a lot of time recently trying to get this right but at last I'm happy with it and sharing. This is a 1,240 megapixel micrograph of a flattened Clarkia unguiculata bloom fluorescing under a UV light.
Check out those crazy pollen grains around 150μm wide!

I discovered a little-known but fascinating aspect of what goes on in my garden after dark. Had to make the video.

For #worldbeeday here's Ophrys speculum, a member of the #beeorchid genus. This one is pollinated by a wasp when the flower's mimicry of the female tricks the male into attempting mating with it. The metallic lip seems to emulate the reflection of the sky on the female's wings!

This image of a bouquet of mums was made using a technique called Ultraviolet Induced Visible Fluorescence or UVIVF. The mums were painted with a powerful UV torch in a 30 second exposure in a dark garage with a full spectrum camera. #photography #UVIVF #fullspectrum #ultraviolet #EastCoastKin

A macro photo of a raspberry stem and budding leaf illuminated by UV light allowing the fluorescent leaves to be detected. The depth of field is so thin that the upper and lower end of the stems are out of focus
More #UVIVF of the raspberry plant outside.

A red fluorescing leaf against a pitch black background
It's a long way away from even being in the same universe as @rainhayes.com level of work, but here's my first #uvivf image of a raspberry bud growing in my back garden
This is also my first macro stack and it went okay
The red fluorescence is from the chlorophyll in the leaves

Tomorrow I'm going to shoot some #infrared photography in black and white while we have clear skies. I want to get the ivy and brambles glowing bright against the bare trees and black IR skies of winter.
And when I get cold, I'll move to doing some #UVIVF with my new 365nm torch.

Anacamptis morio orchid is a widespread species which is threatened despite its range. It naturally occurs throughout Europe, Great Britain, and extends to the middle east. Evolution has favored this like many orchids to use deception instead of nectar to attract pollinators.

Fun thing: the blue sparkles on kiwi's skin are dust particles
These dots are a pain in the ass in UVIVF #photography.
