- Lot Description
Gordon Beningfield (British, 1936 - 1998) "Ohi'a Lehua" Signed lower right. Original Watercolor painting on Illustration Board.
Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation.
This painting was originally published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover of the U.S. 29c Ohi'a Lehua stamp issued July 24, 1992.
Found in shrublands and moist to wet forests, ohi'a lehua is one of the most abundant trees of Hawaii. It occurs on all of the main islands except Ni'ihau and Kaho'olawe. Although in drier areas ohi'a lehua remains a small shrub, in cool, moist conditions at high elevations it can reach heights of 100 feet. The rough, grooved bark separates in thick flakes or, if smooth, in long, thin strips. The striking flowers are composed of prominent tufts of stamens -- usually red -- with small, inconspicuous petals. Birds such as the apapane and i'iwi help pollinate the flowers as they feed on sweet nectar. Tiny seeds form in woody capsules that eventually break and release the seeds for dispersal by the wind. The genus name comes from the Greek words metra -- heartwood -- and sideron -- iron -- which refers to the hardness of the wood. The Hawai'ian name describes the dark red color of the blossoms. Ohi'a lehua is sacred to Pele, the goddess of the volcano.
