Clematis, after they have flowered, are not very interesting plants to look at. But when I walked around the garden one evening with my UV torch the remains of the flowers (are these the sepals?) glow well from the UV torch. Here I am showing 3 examples from our garden. For each I am showing the daylight flash version with the UV fluorescence as a ‘before/after’ ‘slider’, followed by a composite image split in half showing the two versions in the one image:

I never cease to be amazed at how the different lighting changes the look of the flowers. These were the most difficult to photograph and process as, although it was a still night, there was just enough breeze to move the flowers.
