This is Platystemon californicus.

I think it's important context for the fluorescence. Correlating the reflected color with fluorescent has more value especially if one wanted to look into pigments or pollinator interaction. Since this flower is bee-pollinated, I imagine that blue fluorescence is relevant!

Never managed to get a good roast on my test nuts but I still have them waiting when I'm ready to give them more attention. They're larger than coffee beans and it seems like it takes a lot more to get them roasted enough to put through a grinder without damage.

I think for an image like this it's important to see it in full detail so you can visit my website cpburrows.com and try it yourself!

For context this panorama would take up an entire wall of a house even when printed at fine art quality.

Planning to do more of these once I build a new system!

I've never observed it with other plants. While they all move from breezes, changes in hydrostatic pressure, and response to light or other stimuli, I've never seen one move this quickly except for flytraps and mimosa pudica which are mechanically triggered.

Woah the fluorescent guttation is so cool!

I adore games where the user structures attacks or functions in the game. Such things as Transistor and Hades from Supergiant, Noita, and even games like Reassembly and Avorion and Spore check the box! Maybe a build a bird to survive weird ecologies would be fun!

Hi Scott! What would you like to know? The process itself is pretty straightforward - 365nm output through a bandpass filter to reduce visible light. Visible fluorescence is captured on conventional camera and lens with optional bandpass filter to eliminate extra UV.

I started working mostly with regionally native plants which meant that it all needed to be self grown, purchased from nurseries, or collected from common wild plants. I've never worked with purchased cut flowers however. Some of the more rare subjects would be ones that I would need to grow myself.

I don't know in advance, but I haven't met a plant that didn't have SOME fluorescence yet. Some have consistent patterns like Phacelia always have brightly fluorescent nectar cups and Asteraceae almost always have highly fluorescent pollen.

All natural plants lit with a filtered 365nm light source!

Oh good idea and thoughtful! Thank you. I love #bloomscrolling!

We checked it out and it seemed to be a couple trees and bushes on fire. FD was on site. Shortly beforehand we saw transformers flash off in the sky in the right direction.

I posted one of my reels from IG to here and it was brilliant - no stress about aggressive compression and seems like a whole different value platform over the type of content posted.

Glad you're here!
