In this extraordinary image, the vibrant red petals and fleshy lip of the slipper flower come alive under ultraviolet illumination, revealing a hidden alien-like beauty.

Under controlled conditions, photographer Heather Angel captures this mesmerizing sequence that showcases nature's creativity at its finest. With a plain black background enhancing every intricate detail of the flower's structure, it feels like stepping into an extraterrestrial garden.
