Singapore Botanical Gardens

Moonie and I visited the Singapore Botanical Gardens and found it to be such a nice place. There were loads of people there- families with children, joggers, and tourists checking out the interesting plants and flowers!

The Botanical Gardens cover a huge area so you should be prepared to walk a fair bit. We walked around the Ginger Garden and paid to enter the National Orchid Garden. It was amazing to see all the different types of orchids- they were just so beatiful!

One of the 'VIP' Orchids- this one is named after Margaret Thatcher!

Walking around in our weather is really quite a nightmare though... :p We sought shelter in the 'Cool House' and here's one of the plants we saw- a Venus Flytrap! I was so excited to see this; and was quite surprised to find that the plant is actually much smaller than I thought!

We were bushed after all that walking and sweating. A super-tiring morning indeed!
