This vibrant illustration captures a perfect moment of tropical splendour—a brilliant blue Ulysses butterfly perched delicately on an exotic bird of paradise flower. Robyn Clarke's exceptional attention to detail brings to life this stunning composition, showcasing the interplay between two of nature's most spectacular creations.
The artwork beautifully portrays the bird of paradise's dramatic orange and purple petals reaching skyward, contrasted with its rich green leaf. The electric blue Ulysses butterfly (Papilio ulysses), native to Australia's tropical north Queensland and known as the Mountain Blue butterfly or Blue Emperor, provides a breathtaking colour counterpoint. Every element is rendered with remarkable precision—from the intricate veining of the butterfly's wings to the subtle colour gradients of the flower's stem.
This pairing creates not just a visually striking image but also represents the important relationship between flowering plants and their pollinators. The dramatic colours and forms of both subjects demonstrate nature's extraordinary ability to evolve both function and beauty simultaneously.
The perfect addition to any nature lover's collection or an ideal gift for those who appreciate botanical and wildlife art.
