Everyone knows that flowers are beautiful. But did you know they are also beautiful on the inside? Photographer and designer Hugh Turvey wanted to see if this was true, and experimented by creating x-ray images of different types of flowers. The results are absolutely stunning, and allow us to see these symbols of beauty on a whole new level.
