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 #FA25
Westonbirt Arboretum, England

These Blue Anemones looked really striking whichever way I looked
at them, but best of all against the light ('contre-jour'). They give out
Ultraviolet light during the day to attract bees and other pollinating insects,
and the film has picked this up (which is why they don't look blue)
