The flower portrayed in this painting is the Bird of Paradise. Originally from South Africa, this flower is seen in so many Hawaiian floral arrangements that it’s often thought to be native to the islands. It certainly flourishes here. Its striking “plumage” blends in beautifully with the rest of the flora.

These “birds” appear to be ready to take their morning flight—right from their nest of blue-green leaves. Can you see their colors shimmer in the morning light? I hope this print brightens your morning and gives you the feeling of “lift off” to start your day.
