I haven't been to the botanical gardens for many years, so I decided to visit it again one evening for a stroll with The Husband.
The Singapore Botanical Gardens is a really nice garden to visit... but it is really too hot to take a stroll in the gardens at any time other than early morning or evening.
Come along for a stroll with me here, in the comfort of your home.. or wherever it is you are reading this from.
The garden is really rather big - we only covered a part of it that day
Swan Lake - a couple of swans and lots of turtles. Should have been called Turtle Lake
The famous 5 dollar tree. This tree appears on the Singapore 5 dollar note.
I really like the long branch of this tree
The Singapore flower - Vanda Ms Joaqium
These flowers are grown in an area built like a little maze.
It's really quite pretty!
The sky was beautiful that day
I like the fiery shade of this flower
Last picture I took before heading off to dinner. I'd be back soon again!
It is one of my all-time fav places!
ReplyDeleteThe orange flower is peacock flower.
Peacock flower! Such a nice name
ReplyDeleteYup... me too. I love those gardens. Nowhere else in Singapore can one get up close and personal with such HUGE trees.
ReplyDeleteIt's so relaxing just looking at the photos...
ReplyDeleteOh I know what you mean, Milka. I enjoy the photos too. In real life, it is really hot when I was taking the photos, although it was almost evening time!
