《卡特里亚兰花和三只蜂鸟》是马丁·约翰逊·海德在1982年被国家美术馆收购的桃花心木画板上的油画。海德也许是受查尔斯·达尔文和弗雷德里克·埃德温·丘奇作品的启发，他计划在十九世纪六十年代创作一本豪华书，描绘热带环境中的巴西蜂鸟，并为此创作了一系列40幅名为《巴西宝石》的小画。这个项目被放弃了，但是海德仍然对蜂鸟感兴趣，直到19世纪70年代，他继续把它们与兰花和丛林背景结合起来绘画。丛林。左边前景是一朵盛产的粉色兰花，茎浅绿色，荚果浅绿色。"在右边，两颗绿粉色的巴西紫水晶在巢穴附近盘旋，一颗红尾的萨福彗星栖息在附近。

Cattleya Orchid and Three Hummingbirds is an oil on mahogany panel picture by Martin Johnson Heade acquired by the National Gallery of Art in 1982. Inspired perhaps by the works of Charles Darwin and Frederic Edwin Church, Heade planned to produce a deluxe book in the 1860s depicting Brazilian hummingbirds in tropical settings, and, to that end, created a series of 40 small pictures called The Gems of Brazil. The project was abandoned, but Heade retained his interest in hummingbirds and continued to paint them in combination with orchids and jungle backgrounds through the 1870s. The NGA describes the work: "Lichen covers dead branches; moss drips from trees; and, a blue-gray mist veils the distant jungle. An opulent pink orchid with light-green stems and pods dominates the left foreground." On the right, two green-and-pink Brazilian Amethysts hover about a nest while a red-tailed Sappho Comet perches nearby.
