Westonbirt Arboretum  - These flowers are blue, but the film sees them as mauve as they transmit ultraviolet radiation, which our eyes can't normally see, to attract insects

Blue Anemone Anemone apennina #FA24
Westonbirt Arboretum


Blue Anemones are wild flowers - I don't know if they were planted here,
but in April there are quite a few, flowering before the tree canopy closes
out most of their light. In real life they look bluer than this, but to get them
to look blue they must be photographed around dawn or dusk when they're not
giving out ultra-violet rays (to attract insects) which affects the colour the
film sees
