These are some of the bromeliads on the Cool Dry Bund. The colours are more vibrant under the full sun conditions. The Lantana montevidensis is growing so well at this corner that it is sprawling onto another green brom.
At the SilverLeaf Garden, the Butia capitata was producing masses of fruits. The Supertrees planted with Tillandsias and other plants looked amazing.
Next to the filter bed, the Plain Tiger butterfly was flitting around the Wrightia religiosa shrub. Looking up the stairs from the base of the Chinese Garden, the scenery reminds me of a conifer forest. Near the area is a Barringtonia acutangula planted at the base of the slope. At the other flight of stairs were planted rows of droopy Leptospermum madidum ssp. sativum. A pink Calliandra haematocephala, a red Calliandra tergemina var. emarginata and beds of red Russelia equisetiformis stood out from amongst the light green vegetation.

This pink Arundina was planted at the Indian Garden but mine at home finally sent out a new shoot after so many months of growing it since I bought it at last year's World Orchid Conference in Nov 11. To me, I am not as amazed by this colour variety then the more common white-purple A. graminifolia (common name: Bamboo Orchid).
Back to this post, I am actually posting the beautiful plants at the Hub, which is also known as the rose. It is no coincidence that the flowers have a pink tinge or shade. These spectacular plants are namely as follows:
- Plumeria 'Dwarf Singapore Pink'
- Ceiba speciosa (common name: Silk Floss Tree)
- Rondeletia leucophylla or Arachnothryx leucophylla (common name: Panama Rose)
- Plumeria rubra variegated
- Vinca rosea or Catharanthus roseus (common name: Periwinkle)
I watched this movie recently and wasn't too thrilled by the storyline. Benjamin Walker as the titular character Abraham Lincoln did nothing for me at all. It was a disappointment by my standards.
