Frostweed (Verbesina virginica) when exposed to regular daylight as well as when illuminated by a 365 nm ultraviolet (UV-A) blacklight from Lick Creek Park. College Station, Texas, September 11, 2024



This image presents two photographs of frostweed flowers taken under different lighting conditions. The top photograph features a cluster of white flowers with five petals each. These flowers are photographed without any special lighting and appear to be illuminated by natural daylight.

The bottom photograph shows a similar cluster of flowers, but this time they have been exposed to UV-A blacklight from Lick Creek Park in College Station, Texas. Under the UV light, the frostweed's white petals glow blue-white. The image demonstrates the unique property of certain plants that fluoresce when illuminated by ultraviolet light.
