 Ambhali flowers look like birds! Amazing  Flowers with unique shapes! Cyanotis adscendens have shape like birds. Flowers that look like something else. When I saw national geographic channel and then You Tube videos of worlds top flowers, unique flowers and rare flowers, it was shocking as well as interesting to see their shapes. Mother Nature's amazing artistry! Some flowers look like birds, some like monkey, some like cup saucers, there are some flowers that are funnel shaped, very huge in size with single tubular flower, some are like human skull, some like human reproductive organs, which is a fact that all these are a way of nature to attract insects for pollination. This is Nature;s way to attract and facilitate pollination and spread their species. No wonder those rare flowers still continue to grow and are not extinct.

The paintings of healing flowers as I continued in making these are are flowers with unique colors and there was suddenly the fascination to parrot flowers for their immense resemblance to birds-parrot. With its uniqueness and symbolism I painted this artwork of parrot flowers in year 2015 without much knowledge about the flower, except for the fascination for its shape.

Thailand auspicious flowers. Impatiens psittacina known as parrot flower or parrot balsam is a species from southeast Asia. This is a species of balsam. There is a ban to export these flowers and this is a protected species. The flower needs extremely hot and wet climate as is in Thailand and Myanmar. Hence this flower cannot be grown in any garden or anywhere in the world-hence the rarity and opulence status of these parrot flower. 

Opulent blooms are rare and worth their status. Symbols of royalty these flower paintings bring joy to any space. Orchids are costliest flowers and difficult to grow. Beautiful Rare flowers, I must mention here my obsession with the Brahma Kamal. yes, these one night blooms are the costliest in the world as they cannot be sold, the flowers dry off in one night and seeing the Brahma kamal flower is also a rarity so I continue to grow these in my window garden and have painted the flower painting in hope of attracting blessings form the Lord Brahma! God of creation!
