(Scrophulariacea) Flowers photographed in visible and ultraviolet light. http://www.ultravioletphotography.com/content/index.php/topic/2076-eremophila-accrescens/ Maldon, Victoria, Australia31 December 2016Australian Native Wildflower as Garden Specimen Comment Eremophila accrescens is a rare species named by R J Chinnock in 2007 from specimens he collected southeast of Ashburton Downs, Western Australia, in September 1979. It is suspected to be a hybrid between E. cuneifolia and E. phyllopoda with which it was found in the wild.

Andy Perrin Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Nice. A case where the UV was the most interesting of the three images, beating out the fluorescence in my opinion! Link to comment
Andrea B. Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Yes, it's sometimes hard to predict which will be the more interesting. Dave, I really like your cut-away of the flower. I did that once with a Daffodil and it was quite interesting. Link to comment
DaveO Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 I find images of Eremophilas with tubular corollas leave me wanting to try to see inside to perhaps see how they would be seen by an insect, I've only just started this crazy idea so I will add them to existing posts as the flowers are available. I don't think I will do it for daisy type flowers where you can see all the action and it will only be used on studio shots not those taken in the wild. This particular eremophila is insect pollinated, bird pollinated ones, which I will post, show UV black both inside and outside. There's a PhD in this if you know any students. Dave Link to comment
