Gardens by the Bay in Singapore is the most extraordinary garden I have ever visited. Part of the comprehensive display is the Flower Dome where, in the largest columnless greenhouse in the world, plants of desert regions and cool temperate areas grow abundantly. Paths lead through different levels, so in this post you can imagine walking through the arid region display close to the entry. Come with me up a sloping ramp, among the cacti and Baobab trees.
through the colourful entry where flowering plants are featured
swirling cacti
stone fish swim through the gardens
colour harmonies under the vast roof
pink and silver
fully grown baobab trees are reshooting after pruning and replanting
sculptures create interest
spiky stems for survival
delicate flowers
foliage and faces
this pink flower was behind plexiglass for protection

desert tones
Later I will guide you through the Australian and Mediterranean areas, and the completely over-the-top flower display, which featured a harvest theme of pumpkins, scarecrows and cornucopia.

Thank you for the tour! Love the Gardens by the Bay. the cacti flowers are so beautiful, and Baobab trees, wow!
A beautiful garden that is full of wonder and discovery. I passed by Singapore airport on the way to the Philippines and inside the airport were thousands of orchids and tropical flowers. It was amazing! Wonderful post!
