"Galassia Flowers are fluorescent flowers. The fluorescence enhances the natural beauty of the flowers, and takes flower colour to a new level.

Galassia Flowers have been developed by Bioconst, a company based in Adelaide, a city with a strong reputation in plant science research and development.

Based in South Australia, Bioconst is a globally-focussed business that uses novel technologies to develop a range of plants that emit light.

Galassia Flowers, Bioconst's first products, fluoresce due to the application of a fluorescent formulation. For their beauty to be revealed, they need ultra-violet (UV) light. This is supplied by custom-designed illumination devices, also developed by Bioconst."

"Scorpion bodies are studded with eyes, sometimes as many as twelve — and scientists may have found one more.

A scorpion’s entire exoskeleton may act as one giant light receptor, a full-body proto-eye that detects shadows cast by moonlight and starlight.

That’s still just a hypothesis, but it would help explain why they glow so brilliantly under ultraviolet light."
