Cobweb house-leek flower - Sempervivum arachnoideum in reflected ultraviolet photography and simulated bee and butterfly vision III

Today in 2023 more shots of a Cobweb house-leek flower - Sempervivum arachnoideum in reflected ultraviolet photography and simulated bee and butterfly vision. All shots were done at f11 in reflected ultraviolet photography using my "work horse" UV filter, the Baader-U filter, as well as my XBV filters for simulated bee and butterfly vision. Lens was a UV-Nikkor 105mm quartz fluorite lens. Light source was a modified Xenon flash.

Sempervivum flowers have a distinct UV reflection, their petals have a dark center center line, the outside part is UV darker and all this gets nicely visible here, also in simulated bee and butterfly vision.

I have posted about this flower before HERE
