Singapore Mandai Zoo - Flowers

I have a hard time posting these photos, need to do homework to find out the names of the flowers...lol. Mable's blog help me a lot in identifying some of the flowers.

Canna flower

Heliconia

Heliconia (Bird of Paradise)

Not sure what flower is the above. It looked so cute and pretty. Will try to find out the name of the flower.

Powder puff flowers

Anthurium Flower

Thunbergia ( I think this is the name of the flower)

Clerodendrum paniculatum (pagoda flower) - hahaha got the name of the flower from Mable's Blog.

Alpinia purpurata

Hope I did not get the names of the flowers wrong.

Mable, if you are reading this post, thank you for your blog, I now treated your blog as my flower guide book. :)

Singapore Mandai Zoo - Rafflesia

Going through my files in my computer, I realised I still have some photos from my visit to Singapore Zoo that I have not posted in my blog.

We were visiting the "Fragile Forest" in Singapore Mandai Zoo and we came across this huge flower called the Rafflesia. I am not sure if it is real or fake. But am very sure it is not a sculpture. We dare not touch the flower cause it could be the real flower. Even my son could not tell the difference...lol. I wonder anyone could give me the answer if the Rafflesia in the Zoo is real or fake. Would be nice if it is real. You can view my previous post on the fragile forest.

You can read more about Rafflesia from Wikipedia

Skywatch Friday

Taking the monorail is one of the way to get to Sentosa from mainland Singapore beside driving, taking the public bus, cable car or just walked over.

From the monorail station, I could view another new attraction coming soon to Sentosa. I think the youngsters would love it. The new attraction is skydiving. No way I am going to attempt this...lol.

From the beach station of the monorail, one can take the beach tram and visit the beaches or you can just simply walk over to the beach from the station.

View of the sea from the platform of the monorail station where I was standing.

For other sky watchers, please hop over to Skywatch blog.

My World Tuesday - The Thinker

Saw this sculpture known as The Thinker at the Resort World Sentosa. I was wondering why is he always deep in thought..lol. So lately, are you thinking a lot? I am thinking about my trip. :)

I like the side view of the sculpture. The guy in the background must be thinking too...lol.

Back view of the sculpture.
