Iridescent Plants
A collection of four beautiful images of iridescent plants. The text on this poster reads 'Many species of flowering plants and ferns of tropical parts of the world produce foliage with spectacular blue or green iridescent shines. The reason for this iridescence remains unclear. It appears unlikely that it represents a mechanism to attract pollinators since the iridescent ferns do not produce flowers. Perhaps the iridescent shine serves to protect the leaves by reflecting the high component of ultra violet (blue) light that is often especially strong in tropical sunlight, or perhaps it serves a different purpose that has not yet been identified. Certainly the iridescent-leaved plants are among the most striking and most beautiful of all the world’s flora.'
