Blue flowers transmission spectra

All of my spectra of blue flowers that I could find - from last year and from today. The thick blue line is the aril from the seed-pod of Ravenala Madagascariensis - the Traveller's tree - which is a unique plant pigment (or structural colour) whose exact nature is still unknown.
