Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #94: At Home
Category : Lens-Artists Challenge
Amy is inviting us to join this week Lens-Artists Challenge: At Home.
From my garden this strelitzia reginae (estrelícia in Portuguese), commonly known as the crane flower or bird of paradise, resembles a bird’s head, and due to its brilliant orange and blue colours and unique form, it resembles not just any bird but a bird-of-paradise, is a species of flowering plant indigenous to South Africa.
