Hello.

I wonder if you can help me I am hoping to create a small but very special house plant installation in my home but I would like it to contain really weird and amazing looking plants to fit with a sci fi theme.

Some of the ideas I have had so fare are pretty interesting, I have been looking in to plants and flowers which change color under UV light, around the plants and flowers will be small UV LEDs to make parts of the scene glow, but the most important part is the plants temselves, there are some bio-luminescent plants and fungus which glow of their own accord which could be nice to use, there are also many types of rocks which contain UV responsive minerals which will also glow.

Perhaps another idea might be to use some water plants as well, but believe it or not, I am not very knowledgeable about house plants or exotic flowers, I just have a bit of a wild imagination.

Please tell me what you think offer me any advice or ideas, I will be very grateful for your help.
