TOA PAYOH TOWN PARK - PART 1

It was drizzling as I descended the stairs from the overhead bridge from the bus interchange. The view of the tree crowns were amazingly spectacular. I was first greeted by overlapping crowns of Filicium decipiens and Xanthostemon chrysanthus with leaves of different textures, sizes, colour and shapes.

Some of the landscape plants were the same as when I planted them years ago and they are still beautiful. Amongst them include the Cordyline fruticosa cultivar and Costus curvibracteatus. Then I came across the circular pergola planted with the unusual Millettia reticulata climber which was never heard of by me back then.
