Description
An Exotic Bird
by Lisa Cassinari
"An Exotic Bird" is a color photograph of a beautiful full-blown Bird of Paradise blooming in Florida. It symbolizes wonderful exotic, tropical vacations with my family when I was growing up. Now it is a frequent sight when I visit my parents in Florida with my own family.
The name for the Bird of Paradise comes from its shape like a bird's beak and head plumage, and they are also called Crane Flowers. Their brilliant colors make them a favorite with most everyone and they are considered by many as a symbol of paradise.
Due to its banana shaped leaves and other plant characteristics, this exotic tropical flower was classified in the banana family Musaceae.
