Bird Of Paradise


One of the flowers commonly associated with Hawai‘i. They can be found in practically every part of Honolulu. I found this one at Foster Botanical Garden, and used a soft filter.

That plant really does remind me of a bird. I love the effect with the soft filter. Beautiful!

I saw these flowers for the first time while visiting the French Caribbean (Martinique et Guadeloupe). Until them I only had seen them at florists or in greenhouuses.

Very beautiful. I love these things, though I don't see them often.
