Picture Stories #156 - Bird Flower

in #smartphonephotography6 years ago (edited)

Is it a bird? Is it a plant? I wish I could say it's both, but we don't have such genetically advanced and mutated creatures on our planet yet, so they are in fact just plants that look like birds. When I viewed these beautiful flowers from a certain angle, they appeared to me like some enchanting tropical birds resting atop green foliage. So I decided to take pictures of them from both sides in such a way that they presented themselves like stunning birds. I am certainly happy with the way the pictures have come out!

I'm not sure what the plant/flower in the above pictures is, but it sure looks beautiful and I was also seeing this floral magnificence for the first time.

Have you seen this flower before?

Thank you for reading!

You've nailed it! When googling for "bird flower" this is what comes up: bird of paradise flower. Yes, I've seen it before. Since they are so pretty they are often planted in botanic gardens, you can also find them sometimes at the florist's. I still prefer orchids :o)

Haha I was too lazy to google, but I'm quite impressed by myself :P Thanks for doing the research, and well orchids are the choice of genius minds, so it figures :D

I am in Cape Town, South Africa and I have a bunch of these growing my garden! They are so stunning...I’m very lucky! They are indigenous to this area. We also call them strelitzia.

Wow, certainly lucky ;) What a beautiful view...

Nice click bro, which camera you have used? And one more thing to say nature is awesome!

I love this flower, it is called Bird of paradise flower. Many years ago I saw it first time in a bouquet of flowers, it made me confused because I did not know where is what. I loved it from the first sight. But I prefer it alive in the ground rather cut in my vase.

beautiful flowers, very contrasting colors to the surroundings, first look I also feel like a bird with a long beak

great .. new this time I see there are flowers resembling birds.

It's also my first time seeing that kind of plant. Well it is pretty cool.

Amazing plant, looks like a phoenix. Im animal/nature lover and this amazed me
