SKIPPER ON LAGERSTROEMIA

I saw this yellow Skipper Butterfly resting on the leaves of this Lagerstroemia tree.

A Ficus (fig) tree.

I was there just last week and there are a number of trees that are interesting.

We visited the Ong Sam Leong's grave which occupies a large footprint which is perhaps the size of a 5-room HDB flat? A road at Farrer Park MRT vicinity was named after him. Another road Boon Tat Street at Raffles Place area was named after his son Ong Boon Tat.

By a stroke of luck, I also saw a yellow Skipper butterfly and managed to capture its beauty on my iphone before I left.

The fruits are edible?

There are a number of beautiful Crotons in the area.

I couldn't believe that I managed to capture a good photo of this Skipper.

SOUTHERN RIDGES 6

This is the end stretch of the Southern Ridges trail. There are many open areas where new trees with coloured leaves were deliberately planted.


It was also here where I spotted an unassuming Chestnut Bob skipper butterfly on the Clidemia hirta weed. There was also another unknown tree with interesting fruits and the familiar Claoxylon indicum that I often see from Alexandra Road. The Horsfieldia irya trees were also fruiting.


Finally, we crossed the Alexandra Arch and reached the last destination HortPark.
