Vintage Floral X-Rays Reveal The True Beauty Of Our Favorite Flowers

These are some of the most striking and unique floral images in history.

You've never seen roses, daffodils, and calla lilies quite like this before.

A series of images taken in the late 1920s by Dr. Dain L. Tasker, chief radiologist at Wilshire Hospital in Los Angeles, show various floral species through the lens of an X-ray machine.

The images, on display at Joseph Bellows Gallery in La Jolla, California until Feb. 19, are not only breathtaking but also offer a fascinating look into an era when radiology was in its formative phase. Scroll down to see the X-rays in all their glory.
