Comment:

This is such a charming Buckwheat with its green sticks and tiny pink buds. The perianth is much lighter, almost white when fully opened up. The UV version is mostly UV-dark and shows some iridescence. I need to revisit it sometime as I was losing the light by the time I got around to making the UV frames.
