Exotic Beauty (84) : Brazilian Fuchsia
Last year I made several visits to the conservatories of the National Botanic Garden of Belgium where 10.000 (!) plant and tree species originating from the tropics and the subtropics are growing in the greenhouses over there.
Thanks to the warm and moist climate in the conservatories and the intensive maintenance, it’s really amazing what an immense great variety of exotic flowers from all over the world can be seen there, even in the cold winter season !
Flowers whose natural habitat is situated in the rainforest, the mountain forest, isolated islands, deserts, etc……. Places that most of us will never or seldom visit.
Some of the flowers are very rare, extremely colourful or specially shaped.
Others were introduced in Europe by men and became a cultivated species or an ornamental houseplant.
I selected the –to my personal taste- most beautiful flowers that I saw there and made a series of them.

the juicy, sunshiny, soft appeal of the blossoms: quite irresistible looking on a dark and cold early march day! a welcome distraction from today's vicious hail showers! needless to say it's beautifully captured, using the light to brighten up the radiant combination of orange and yellow even more! greetings, sabine. p.s.: cute, those tiny sunkissed "bristles" on the rim of the petals!carinart 04/03/2015 18:20
Feinstes Licht und tolle Schärfe - du bist ein echter Künstler!L.G. Karin
