Infrared photo of Marsh Marigold flowers in Spring.
Foliage tends to reflect a lot of infrared light. This can be easily seen in this photo, where the leaves are reflecting about the same amount of light as the flowers. In visible light the yellow flowers appear much brighter than the green leaves and stems.
Caltha palustris (kingcup, marsh marigold) is a perennial herbaceous plant of the family Ranunculaceae, native to marshes, fens, ditches and wet woodland in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere.
It becomes most luxuriant in partial shade, but is rare on peat. In the United Kingdom, it is probably one of the most ancient native plants, surviving the glaciations and flourishing after the last retreat of the ice, in a landscape inundated with glacial meltwaters.
