FLOWER DOME - ENTRANCE PATHWAYS

Visitors are greeted with an array of flowers from the entire colour palette on the screens upon entering the Flower Dome. 

Upon turning right towards the Baobab Village, there are lots of beautiful flowering plants at eye level because of the raised planters. That is one of the best ways of displaying plants for visitors to be able to see the plants and flowers up close instead of having to bend or squat down if they are planted at ground level.

The numerous Gazania cutlivars, Adenium (Family: Apocynaceae) and yellow flower Senecio macroglossus (Family: Asteraceae / Compositae) are what caught my eye.
