BUKIT BROWN CEMETERY

A Ficus (fig) tree.
I was there just last week and there are a number of trees that are interesting.

We visited the Ong Sam Leong's grave which occupies a large footprint which is perhaps the size of a 5-room HDB flat? A road at Farrer Park MRT vicinity was named after him. Another road Boon Tat Street at Raffles Place area was named after his son Ong Boon Tat.

By a stroke of luck, I also saw a yellow Skipper butterfly and managed to capture its beauty on my iphone before I left.

The fruits are edible?


There are a number of beautiful Crotons in the area.

The body guard

The Earth Deity

I couldn't believe that I managed to capture a good photo of this Skipper.
