Gladiolus pardalinus night photo

Photographed at night, the Gladiolus pardalinus flower shares slightly different floral information to that divulged during daytime. The red line-markings indicating vein lines across the tepals are accentuated, the lines and other markings changing on the different tepals and tepal parts.

The hooded dorsal tepal is closely associated with the three oblong anthers that appear to have holes at their tips. The three-branched style tip is above the anthers, below the hood (Goldblatt and Manning, 1998; iNaturalist).
