Heisenberg would be proud... I recently acquired a short wave and long wave UV light from the demise of a stamp club and thought it might be an interesting idea to use it on some flowers.

Two questions come to mind: First, if I go to the grocer or floral shop, what would be the best, easy first choices for purchase? Second, I am using a Canon 20D. Any problems with this camera picking up the fluorescence? I am not too concerned about the camera recording in the UV spectrum - more just what my eyes will be seeing. Plus, this won't damage the sensor, will it?
