Description
There is a stand of Bird of Paradise plants outside a local art center that I usually search for interesting patterns I can take macro photographs of. On a recent visit, there were some blossoms. These are white bird of paradise (Strelitzia nicolai). I took some pictures and applied a paint application to this one and did some other digital editing. I like the abstract design and feel of this.
White Bird-of-Paradise is a striking landscape plant because of its large, banana-like leaves and upright, clumping stalks which give an exotic, tropical feel. Plants can reach 20 to 30 feet in height with a
spread of 10 feet though they are often seen much
smaller. The five to eight-foot-long, cold-tender leaves are arranged in a fanlike display from the erect trunks and appear much like Traveler’s palm tree. The lower trunk becomes clear of leaves and exposed as the older leaves drop off. Leaves rip along the veins as they are blown by strong winds.
