Cattleya Orchid and Three Hummingbirds, 1871.
Cattleya Orchid and Three Hummingbirds, 1871.⠀
⠀
A painting by the American painter Martin Johnson Heade. In 1863, Heade, an aspiring naturalist, made the first of three trips to Brazil to paint the brilliantly colored hummingbird, creating at least forty-five canvases. Although Heade’s plan to publish an illustrated book on the birds was never realized, the artist’s fascination continued unabated. Beginning about 1871 and continuing for over thirty years, he painted a series of pictures that combined hummingbirds with living orchids, such as these. Drawing on his own earlier experience as a sometime-ornithologist, and using living orchids for the first time as a painter’s subject, Heade created a unique American genre.⠀

These flowers are all from the same hybrid! Look at all that variation - these must be seedlings instead of clones.
