we show how to make flowers glow in the dark under ultraviolet light using a fluorescent dye.

You really only need two things, an ultraviolet lamp and a fluorescent highlighter. Open the highlighter and squeeze a few drops of the fluorescent ink into a cup of water. Now take the flower (i find white carnations to be the best) and cut the stem underneath the solution. Leave the flower in overnight and the dye will have been absorbed into the flower.

Now simply shine an ultraviolet light onto the flower to cause the highlighter dye to glow. whats amazing is that the glow isn't uniform but will glow bighter in areas where the dye accumulates. Often this gives a more complex pattern to the flower.

So for valentine's day, give glow in the dark flowers.

  • kind of awesome a little tiny bit

  • quick question. I know you can have multi colored roses by splitting the stem and putting those different stems in different dye. Can you have a mulit colored glow in the dark rose by splitting the stem and putting it into two highlighter solutions?

  • Well since u have never had sex b4 sometimes clothes r half way off or rite under u or next to u and w/.some girls they can b on the floor and still get wet. Sorry I won't post comments I'll just watch from now on.

  • @greenghost30 so...you two where having sex, usually means, especially for a girl that jeans should be off, or down so you can actually get penetration..

    How did you manage to get cum stains on her ass on her jeans, did she pull up her pants before you came or what?

  • @jimmybob19 wow bro I'm glad I don't puff your buds dude.Wtf of course its bad for u and plant would u soak a cig in perfume then smoke it hoping for a cooler cig to market to your pals. It absorbs the ink dumbass it will be very unhealthy. U can also fill a old liquor bottle w water and the papermate highlighter ink and make a cool glow in black light liquor bottle light my buddy had like 10 w/ all different colors in our dorm in college the girls thought it was cool so they wanted to chill

  • Will this end my lonliness?
