Flowers of a Spiraea sp. plant (possibly Spiraea nipponica or Spiraea × vanhouttei) photographed in visible light (top), ultraviolet (middle), and infrared (bottom). In visible light the flower has white petals with a darker yellow centre. The leaves are quite a dark green. In ultraviolet the petals of the flowers are much darker, while the centres are very dark and appear quite glossy. In infrared the centres of the flowers are only very slightly darker than the petals. The leaves appear much brighter in infrared, almost as bright as the flowers.
