As the designer of The Orchid Show: Brazilian Modern, Raymond Jungles brings the naturalistic subtropical aesthetic that has brought him fame in Florida and the Caribbean to The New York Botanical Garden. Founder of the Miami-based Jungles Landscape Architect, he focuses primarily on private residential gardens, but also works on planned communities, commercial sites, and resort hotels. Jungles has been recognized with 35 awards for his work from various organizations and has been showcased in 29 books and 44 periodicals. His work illustrates an interest in and dedication to the preservation of natural habitat and use of indigenous species. For The Orchid Show, Jungles has drawn inspiration from his mentor, the late Brazilian landscape architect, artist, and self-taught horticulturist Roberto Burle Marx. Jungles first met Burle Marx when he was a student at the University of Florida. Thereafter Jungles made frequent trips to Brazil to learn from Burle Marx at his work sites, studio, and estate. Through his use of native plants, sculpture, hardscape, and water features, as well as his devotion to preserving natural habitats and indigenous species, Jungles work bears the mark of his legendary mentor.

There is no stamen and pistil, almost every orchid type have an insect, bird or other animal connected to it that pollinates them. So it has to be right insects, right time all this for an orchid to be pollinated.” That means if these specific insects or birds disappear so does the orchids. There are also extremely valuable and rare orchids that can cost up to more then several thousands of dollars like this small one unique for Borneo. But bigger specimens of this orchid could cost up to 5 times more then that. Thomas shares his small 50 square meter home with his 200 orchids.
