Today about Grindelia squarrosa the "Curly Cup Gumweed" in its multispectral representation. I took some shots at Hermannshof, Weinheim, Germany in normal human vision VIS, in UV using the Baader-U filter, as well as in simulated bee vision using my XBV2 and new XBV6 filters respectively.

This attractive flower, pretty common to nearly all of the US only shows a little bit of UV reflection overall, but has a UV darker center.
As you may have noticed, I'm still working on my bee vision (BV) filters; BV6 is one with very intensive colors and much shorter exposure time, due to new filter glass combinations.
More about these special new filters here later in a seperate entry.
Stay tuned, more will follow on that fascinating subject...
