"Orchids, Nesting Hummingbirds and a Butterfly" is a notable painting by the American artist Martin Johnson Heade (1819–1904), who was known for his prolific works encompassing landscapes, seascapes, portraits, and still lifes, particularly his depictions of flowers and birds. This painting is an exquisite example of Heade's thematic focus on the interplay between exotic flora and fauna, showcasing his meticulous attention to detail and his fascination with the natural world.

Created in the latter part of the 19th century, a period during which Heade was intensely interested in hummingbirds and tropical flowers, "Orchids, Nesting Hummingbirds and a Butterfly" features a lush composition that combines the artist's passion for ornithology and botany. The painting is characterized by its vibrant colors and the realistic portrayal of its subjects, set against a moody, atmospheric background that was a hallmark of Heade's work.

In this piece, Heade captures the delicate beauty of orchids juxtaposed with the dynamic presence of hummingbirds and the subtle inclusion of a butterfly. The composition is carefully balanced, with the flowers and birds positioned to lead the viewer's eye through the canvas, creating a sense of harmony and tranquility. The painting is a testament to Heade's skill in rendering the textures and translucency of flower petals, as well as the iridescence of hummingbird feathers.

"Orchids, Nesting Hummingbirds and a Butterfly" is part of a larger body of work by Heade that explores similar themes, often referred to as his "Hummingbird" series. These works have been celebrated for their contribution to the American Luminism movement, of which Heade is considered a key figure. Luminism is characterized by an emphasis on the effects of light in landscape, and Heade's treatment of light in this painting enhances the ethereal quality of the scene.

The painting is not only an artistic achievement but also a historical document, reflecting the 19th-century fascination with the natural sciences and the exploration of exotic ecosystems. Today, "Orchids, Nesting Hummingbirds and a Butterfly" is held in high regard by art historians and is considered an important piece within Heade's oeuvre.
