that's amazing to see in ultraviolet! Thanks for the link.
Very nice picture! One of my favourite plants in lawns. In school we watched this plant leaves under the microscop and our theacher told us, that it has a special part that only insects see thanks to UV, something like that http://www.naturfotograf.com/UV_RANU_ACR.html.
