Last October, I saw this spectacular video through twitter:
Birds of Paradise Project Trailer
I then went at Google images looking for bird of paradise paintings. I didn't find birds-birds of paradise, I found flowers-birds of paradise paintings.
Marcia Baldwin, Bird of Paradise painting
« The [Bird of Paradise] flowers stand above the foliage at the tips of long stalks. The hard, beak-like sheath from which the flower emerges is termed the spathe.»
« This is placed perpendicular to the stem, which gives it the appearance of a bird's head and beak; it makes a durable perch for holding the sunbirds which pollinate the flowers.»
Cathy Sheeter, Sunbird painting
« The flowers, which emerge one at a time from the spathe, consist of three brilliant orange sepals and three purplish-blue petals. Two of the blue petals are joined together to form an arrow-like nectary.»
Bobbye West-Thompson, Bird of Paradise painting
« When the sunbirds sit to drink the nectar, the petals open to cover their feet in pollen.»
