Mieko Ishikawa, discusses the enormous number of living things in the tropical rain forests of Borneo: giant jungle trees rising 200 to 250 feet high, insects carrying pollen, animals feeding on fruits—all interacting with each other and the unique weather in a complex and mysterious dance. Rafflesia, the largest flower on earth, can grow only in this kind of jungle. Ishikawa has visited Borneo 11 times. Each time, she is fascinated with the energy and mystery that fills the jungle.
