Tradescantia in UV fluorescence

This first image pair is of a Tradescantia illuminated by daylight on the left and Ultra Violet light on the right. I am showing the two together using a comparison slider:

I just love the way the colours show under UV light with the plant in the background showing a dark bluish tone. But what I really like is the colour effects when blending the 2 images above in different ways. Here are 3 examples:

Tradescantia UV blend 1
Tradescantia UV blend 2

What I found fascinating is the the way the white pot shows: a dark greenish in the first but white in the second. But my favourite is this third blend:

Amazing colours in the plant…
