ORANGE "Bird of Paradise" flower from Richard Baudet

This is a fantastic original watercolor painted envelope by Richard Baudet

Beatifully calligraphic, too!

His wonderful flower is officially know as "strelitzia regina", or the Crane Flower or Bird of Paradise.

It can be seen in many Greek island gardens, very tropical, and I found out that it is

the official flower of Los Angeles! Well, it is a beauty...as is this original painted envelope!

Inside was a lovely note from Richard, with this scribed on top:

Thank you so much, Richard,

your art work is treasured here xxx

...and my postman loves you, too:

...the "mark-of-Richard" :-)
