Nature has a way of surprising even the most experienced plant explorers. While hiking in Ecuador, we looked up to see a breathtaking Cyrtochilum macranthum in full bloom—its golden, cascading inflorescences stretching nearly three meters above us. This rare orchid, one of our favorites, is a perfect example of how wild botanical beauty can be preserved and integrated into luxury landscapes. You can admire its presence in some of our most spectacular projects, including MGM Cotai and Bloom Restaurant. Through careful plant selection and sustainable sourcing, we bring nature’s rarest orchids into architectural spaces where they thrive for years to come.

Our expertise in rare orchid exploration and sustainable plant adaptation allows us to integrate wild species like Cyrtochilum macranthum into our luxury vertical gardens at MGM Cotai and Bloom.
