Whaddaya know, milkweed does it too
#milkweed #prism

Milkweed seeds exploding from a milkweed pod. We see just the tip of the pods at the lower right. The seeds are brown flat ovals attached to silky white filaments. The white filaments are showing pastel prismatic effects, with pinks and greens and blues, from the bright sun above.

Zoom on the prisms

A zoom and crop of the white filaments in the previous milkweed picture, showing the different colors glinting off the bright white: pink, blue, turquoise, yellow, orange.

Today it's Chinese silver grass. I turned the color saturation to 100% to really emphasize the rainbow effect.

A closeup of Chinese silver grass seed heads. The sun is bright in the top left corner, making concentric circles of glinting colored lights, created by the sun hitting the individual little strands. The color saturation is turned up to 100% and all those glinting lights have blurry rainbow effects
