Comment:

Potted pelargonium, commonly called 'geranium' from the family name, are favorites for growing on the summer patio.

This pelargonium from the Imperial strain has an interesting UV-bright edging quite unlike other UV examples such as: http://www.ultraviol...um-sp-geranium/

 

Equipment: [Nikon D600-broadband + Nikon 105mm f/4.5 UV-Nikkor]

 

Visible Light [f/8 for 1/400" @ ISO 200 with Nikon Coolpix A]

 

Ultraviolet Light [f/8 for 1/80” @ ISO 400 with SB-14 UV-modified Flash and Baader UV-Pass Filter]

I had a bit of an artistic flight of fancy here which may not work so well for a documentary view.
