SKYLINE PROMENADE

The strip of planting along the Skyline Promenade is fantastic for planting sun- and heat-loving plants such as the Bougainvillea, Tecoma capensis (Synonym: Tecomaria capensis), Russelia equisetiformis

One of my additions include the purple flower, silver leaved Leucophyllum frutescens (Common Name: Barometer Bush, Ash Plant), which I would add to the Discovery Garden slope.

NATIONAL DAY PART 1

It was National Day and the first plant that excited me that afternoon was the Jacaranda cultivar. Then I found the Posoqueria longiflora was sending out its arrows of white flowers.

At 6:45 pm, it was the air force's copters' and fighter planes' fly pass with the Singapore flag.

Over at the bund, the Lantana montevidensis was making a wave with its abundant purple flowers and it complemented excellently with the purple flower Leucophyllum frutescens.

The brilliantly coloured bracket fungus was still growing on the tree trunk and I wondered how it would taste like when fried.
