[BV] White Clematis in simulated Bee Vision

Same white Clematis hybride flower as shown before in the UV ultraviolet shot, but this time the comparison between normal visible light and simulated bee vison (UV, B, G) as been can only see (ultraviolet, blue, green)

Simulated Bee Vision (UV, B, G):


normal visible light shot:


So obviously also in the simulated bee vision shot it has some dark patterns, as the stamen and stigmata are quite dark, but the flower petals show some UV reflectance. There are also some darker structures visible in these petals.

Stay tuned, more will follow on that fascinating subject...
