Birds of Paradise -The Hatching

 

Birds of Paradise - The Hatching by Sam Nightingale

Western Parotia (Parotia sefilata), Arfak Mountains, West Papua, Indonesia

The plant grows to 2 m (6.6 ft) tall, with large, strong leaves 25–70 cm (9.8–28 in) long and 10–30 cm (3.9–12 in) broad, produced on petioles up to 1 m (39 in) long. The leaves are evergreen and arranged in two ranks, making a fan-shaped crown. The 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.

Had a photo shoot with my beautiful friend Roselyn and her family. We've worked together before but we went to a new location this time and struck gold! A beautiful Bird Paradise on the outskirts of our town, very rustic.

 

This picture is pretty much SOOC, a bit of lighting adjustments is all.

 

Enjoy!

Note the green glow from the lobby; the building must have been remodeled in the 80's.

Dont they look surpisingly similar to birds!

 

I composed the shot to make the flowers appear more "life-like" and as though they are ready to strike their prey.

 

The Bird of Paradise flower is so called because it resembles the plumage of said bird. However, it is also called the Crane Flower, again because of its resemblance to a bird, in this case a crane with its head thrown back and its beak open.
