Image Details:

Flowers, through the petals are naturally great ultraviolet reflectors. This process leaves clear landmarks for insects and bees to spot the flowers and could easily navigate through to find them without much wasted energy. This remarkable occurrence can only be seen or recorded through cameras that are enabled to capture the elusive UV light. By using a full spectrum DSLR, the reflection was successfully captured as seen in this image; purplish haze surrounding the petals.
