Brazilian Modern - February 28 - April 12, 2009
"Mesmerizing and seductive, The
Orchid Show presents the spectacular forms and breathtaking colors of the world's most coveted plant. The show, now in it's 7th year, will feature a contemporary Brazilian garden designed by Raymond Jungles, a noted Miami-based landscape architect. Jungles, drawing on his years of experience working with renowned Brazilian artist and landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx, will create a lush tropical setting for the thousands of brilliantly colored orchids on display. Fountains, pools, and mosaics with bright colors and angular forms will be combined with graceful palms, bromeliads and other native plants of Brazil. "
