EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor illustration, taken from the comprehensive collection "Water-colour Drawings of Plants from South Africa, Canaries, Azores, West Indies and Two Views of Niagra," depicts the enchanting Strelitzia alba, also known as the White Bird of Paradise. Created by renowned botanical artist Francis Masson between 1770 and 1798, this illustration is now held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London. The White Bird of Paradise is a captivating member of the Strelitziaceae family, native to South Africa. Its unique appearance earned it the name "Bird of Paradise," as the large, vibrant bracts surrounding the flower resemble the plumage of exotic birds. The plant stands tall, its long, sturdy trunk adorned with glossy, green leaves. Atop this tree-like stem, the bird of paradise flower blooms, its white petals unfurling to reveal an intricate array of blue and purple sepals that mimic the iridescent feathers of avian species. As a monocotyledon, or monocot, the White Bird of Paradise is a flowering plant that belongs to the Angiospermae, Magnoliophyta, and Sauropsida classes. It is also a member of the Commelinid order. This illustration, with its intricate detail and lifelike accuracy, serves as a testament to Masson's exceptional skill as a botanical artist and the beauty and diversity of the natural world.
