Common Broom (Cytisus scoparius)



Many species of the Fabaceae or Leguminosae have flowers that show nearly no UV-reflexion and appear therefore black in UV images. However, in this case parts of the flower has parts that are very reflective and others that are completely UV-dark, so that it shows a very characteristic pattern.
