Silene dioica (Red Campion) female flower photographed in visible light (top), ultraviolet (middle), and infrared (bottom).
In visible light the flower has pink coloured petals, relatively bright in tone. The pistils at the centre of the flower are white, slightly brighter in tone than the petals. The large ovoid calyx connecting the plant to the stem, the stem itself, and the leaves are all middle toned.
In ultraviolet the stigmas at the centre of the flower are very dark, almost black.
In infrared the flower, calyx, stem, and leaf are all around the same tone, as is the foliage in the background, meaning it is quite difficult to make out much in the image at all.
