Glaucis fraseri (Fraser's Barbed-throat)

John Gould,

The image shows two hummingbirds near a group of large orchid flowers. The flowers are mostly white with yellow and pink accents, while the hummingbirds have iridescent green and brown feathers. The background is a soft gradient of pale blue, and there are large green leaves among the flowers. The orchids stand vertically with blooms pointing in various directions, and the hummingbirds are interacting with the flowers.
