My World Tuesday - Flower Dome- Tall Trees.

Lots of baobab Trees and tall palms greeted visitors on entering the flower dome. They are so huge. Fantastic and wondering how they kept the trees survived in here.

The grape tree from South Africa, they looked like huge ginseng.

Interesting to see the bottle trees in here, lots of benches here to rest our tired feet.

Did not manage to find the information for this sculpture showing three women carrying their children.

For photos on other parts of the world, please visit Our World Tuesday Meme. Thanks to the team of Our World for giving us the opportunity to share my world with the rest of the world.

Gardens By The Bay-Flower Dome - Cactus

In one section of the Flower Dome, lived all these desert plants - cactus.

In the Succulent Garden Seascape section there are decorations of fishes, sea urchins or coral reefs in the desert. Strange to have sea creature in the desert hahaha.

These cactus looked as if there were growing furs.

Close up view of the fur looked so scary.

Hahahaha, I was wondering why they display dead leaves in this section till I saw the note accompany the plant.

Gardens By The Bay - Roses

Love all these beautiful roses. Most of them are not suitable for the weather in Singapore but with the air conditioned dome set in weather similar to colder countries, the roses are able to grown in Singapore. Most of these roses are grown and research done in Hort Park's six prototype glasshouses.

A short video showing the roses in the flower dome.

Gardens By The Bay - Flower Dome - Beautiful Flowers

The Flower Dome in Gardens By The Bay was the perfect place to photograph all these beautiful flowers. Looking at all the different colours and species of the flowers made me so cheerful even though I dont know most of the names of the flowers.

These hibiscus are really so huge and pretty, they looked like dancing skirts.
