Dianthus armeria [Deptford Pink]

[Andrea B.]

Blum, A.G. (2017) Dianthus armeria L. (Caryophyllaceae) Deptford Pink. Flowers photographed in ultraviolet and visible light. http://www.ultraviol...-deptford-pink/

[Last Update: 07 July 2017]

 

Comment: The white-sprinkled, candy pink D. armeria is very UV-absorbing with a UV-black blotch at the base of each petal. There is a zig-zag UV-bright ring at the throat around the stamens and stigma.
