Gardens By The Bay - Uniquely Singapore

| Flower Dome - one of the two conservatories |
The iconic features of the Gardens, the Cooled Conservatories, are the jewel in the crown of the gardens, and
appear like an exotic outcrop on the edge of the Marina. The Flower Dome and the Cloud Forest
represent an innovative amalgamation of architecture, structural
ingenuity, environmental engineering and landscape design. They showcase the application of sustainable
energy solutions and tell the story of plants and their intimate
relationships with man and the ecosystem. At the same time their 2
Hectare area offers a spectacular visual and spatial experience for
visitors.

Replicating the cool-dry climate of the Mediterranean and semi-arid sub-tropical regions such as South Africa and parts of Europe like Spain and Italy, the Flower Dome boasts a permanent display of such plants as well as a changing display field that enables flower shows and displays to be held within the Conservatory.

| Check out the size of this giant hibiscus... :D |
This is my favourite section though... The Autumn Harvest display
Guess I'm still a child at heart, thus the above displays are really heart warming. :D
Here are some flowers which I thought were pretty unique...

| A little like a dancing ballerina |

| Dainty... |
So if you like to experience something uniquely Singapore, check out the latest attraction Gardens By The Bay and be sure to visit the Flower Dome as well as the Cloud Forest. :D
