This tryptich of images is not, strictly speaking, “new.” But I haven’t featured the images recently, and I believe they’re good candidates for a New Images post.

New Images #5 – Exotic blooms

We can’t get much more exotic than the Bird of Paradise – Strelitzia reginae – Native to South Africa. The variety is named “reginae” and commemorates the British queen, Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. Charlotte was Queen as the wife of King George III, from 1761 until her death in 1818. George III was King of England…
