BAY EAST

Similarly, over at Bay East, the following are some of the interesting plants or plants that were in bloom:

• Central Grove - Calotropis gigantea with white flowers at car park, Harpullia ramiflora, Nerium oleander, Holmskioldia sanguinea and yellow Casuarina
• Skyline Promenade - Delonix regia, Bougainvillea cultivars and Russelia equisetiformis
• Arrival Grove - Saraca declinata at Promenade Lawn and Megaskepasma erythrochlamys at Visitor's Centre

BEAUTY

The Bridelia ovata (variegated) from the Euphorbiaceae Family has grown so tall now. The pink flower Nerium oleander (Family: Apocynaceae) is so saccharine sweet while the white flower one with a yellow throat from Thailand's Chatuchak Market is just simple yet faintly fragrant. The maroon leaved Adenium obesum (common name: Desert Rose) from the same Apocynaceae Family is also interesting. Finally, the Ixora 'Crimson Star' from the Rubiaceae Family is still in flower after all these while.

This is just pure, simple beauty.

NERIUM OLEANDER

I bought this uncommon white-flowered Oleander (Family: Apocynaceae) with a yellow throat from Thailand in Jan 08 and planted it out at the Irrigation Pond.

I was glad it was still around and doing fine. Although slow growing, at least it is flowering well.
