Today I'm gonna give you a little piece of Brazil in NY. The New York Botanical Garden opened, this Friday, The Orchid Show: Brazilian Modern, with beautiful displays of thousands of orchids throughout the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory. This is the 7th year of the Orchid Show, that this time gets a lush tropical setting of a contemporary Brazilian garden. Miami-based landscape architect Raymond Jungles was inspired by his mentor, Roberto Burle Marx , an icon of Brazilian design. Jungles opted for fountains, pools, and colorful mosaics combined with graceful palms, delicate orchids, bromeliads, and other native plants of Brazil.
Beyond beauty, the show offers the chance to learn about orchids, the most diverse species of flower on earth. You have until April 12th!. Don't miss it! For more details, visit the website of the Botanical Garden: http://www.nybg.org/tos09/
