The Tulipmania will be coming to an end soon. Meanwhile, I am posting the second series of photos of the beautiful Tulips and Hyacinths, whose fragrance saturated the air in the Flower Dome.
In this post are also the other amazing plants such as Pyrostegia venusta, Lonicera cultivar, tulips-look-a-like orchid, which mimic a true Tulip, in the conservatory as well as a new toy train set and other interesting plants, mainly orchids, in the Cloud Forest.
The Chocolate Pansy is pretty commonly seen throughout the garden.
This is a tree commonly planted in our local landscape. During the week in Apr 13, a number of these Trumpet trees (Scientific Name: Tabebuia rosea; Family: Bignoniaceae) outside the Bayfront MRT exit were covered with flowers. When the flowers dropped, they formed a beautiful carpet of pink.
I haven't seen the Lime caterpillars for a long time now but recently it was back. Just a few days ago, I counted at least 5 caterpillars on this plant and I am giving myself a few more days before I succumbed to the temptation of removing all the caterpillars.
This is a post long due because I watched it at least 2 weeks back. This is another sequel and one of the parts of the Marvel Comics franchise, leading to the other upcoming movies such as Thor 2, Captain America 2, The Avengers etc.
I never used to like Robert Downey Jr. when he was acting in "Ally McBeal" because of his smug behaviour and substance abuse. But he has come clean for some time now and his character actually suits the character to a T. Similarly, I didn't use to like Gwyneth Palthrow but I am slowly having a change of heart towards her. She has been compared to Anne Hathaway in terms of their attraction of bad critics and reviews about them despite their very squeaky clean images and good behaviours. There is just something about them that you don't like even though they are so so nice.
Without giving the movie away, I think I enjoyed this more than "Iron Man 2". At the very, very end of the movie after all the credits is the easter egg sequence and viola the incredible hulk made a funny entrance. So he should be coming up soon, if not next. What a way for the producers to play with the minds of the movie-goers, making them anticipate the upcoming movies for at least a year or two.
Just 2 weeks ago, the Pigeon Orchids in many areas were flowering, including this large clump on the Plumeria obtusa (Common Name: Great White Frangipani).
With some many Pigeon Orchids in bloom, the air was heavily immersed in its fragrance.
I love to eat salted eggs with plain porridge and when I saw the setting sun, it reminded me of a beautiful orange salted egg. Yum yum.
