DRY SCAPE

This landscape has an interesting blend of varied coloured bromeliads and big-flowered Portulaca grandiflora.

COLONIAL GARDEN

The Colonial Garden area was abuzz with flowering recently, including the Dendrobium, Bougainvillea alba, Beaumontia and Congea, which I have never seen flower in this garden before since they were planted until recently.

FLOWER DOME

I don't usually go in to the Flower Dome when it is dark but this was one of the times. The driftwood horses were going out soon.

PTEROCARPUS INDICUS

these are along Rhu Cross
It's always a spectacle when the Angsana trees are allowed to flower and sadly the beautiful flowers for only a day. So when I came back the following day to try and capture its glory, there was really nothing much left to take.

SPIDER

Spiders intrigue me, especially after watching movies on Spiderman. I always wonder if these small house spiders bite us?

SUPERTREES

These Supertrees come to life twice a night when the music and lights come on at 7:45 pm and 8:45 pm.

ROCK

When I laid my eyes on this rock, I was so taken by its pure beauty. It looked so fake that it is actually natural. It's so undeniably gorgeous.

DELONIX REGIA

One of my favourite trees, the Flame of the Forest / Red Flame at Bay East flowered so amazingly. If the crown was any fuller, the flowering of its vermilion flowers would have been even more breathtaking.




this tree is on fire!


STERCULIA MACROPHYLLA

One of my favourite photographic subjects, this tree sprouted a crown of new leaves again. How amazing!

PHALERIA CLERODENDRON

These Phaleria clerodendron (Family: Thymelaeaceae) flowers several times a year and sometimes the phenomenon is so spectacular that it takes my breath away, especially when I am assaulted by its strong fragrance.

the cauliflorous fragrant flowers can be so unbelievable

TABEBUIA ROSEA

The flowering of these groves of Tabebuia rosea outside the Bayfront MRT entrance/exit is so spectacular that it never fails to attract lots of attention from passersby to capture its ephemeral beauty.
