RE: Bird-of-Paradise... in the Land of Paradise

in #photography6 years ago

Here in Australia and the islands where they originated from they're known as Heliconias. There's 100's of varieties and colours and 2 main types... the first and third photos are psittacorum types . While the the spent flower is an old long, pendulous bract, these can also face upwards and are known as claws. They're closely related to the banana.
