The flowers were exposed with Ultra-Violet light from a black light  
in an otherwise totally dark room.

Please comment on what you think.

The camera was a D2X at 20 sec exposure
Lens an El-Nikkor 105mm f5.6  at f11 mounted in a Nikon PB4 bellows  
with a homemade F to LTM adapter
Focus was in incandescent light.
Exposure black light only, using a hot mirror filter and a B+H 403 UV  
bandpass filter.

No attempt was made to color correct. The 403 filter is a nearly  
black, red filter.

I tried the same setup using a D200 and even with a 6 stop exposure  
increase no image was produced.  Totally black.

As a retired engineer I can't stop experimenting. I just think it's  
fun. Hope you enjoy it.
