Dave’s work schedule only permitted him a couple days to play tourist in Singapore, but he really saw a lot. He was able to enjoy the stunning Singapore Botanic Gardens, including the National Orchid Garden. He also toured the Cloud Forest Conservatory. In addition to all that, he took lots of photos in the Flower Dome, an enormous greenhouse next to the Cloud Forest Conservatory. One of the pictures above shows a nighttime view of the Flower Dome on the left and Cloud Forest on the right, with the Supertrees lit in blue. They all help make Singapore a “City in a Garden.”

The Flower Dome is all about blooms. It features nine different gardens which showcase plants from around the globe, emphasizing cool, arid climates. The Flower Field display in the middle includes lots of great tropical orchids. There are also cacti, succulents, trees, and much more.  The Flower Dome is the largest columnless glasshouse in the world. The building is designed to be energy efficient and collect rainwater. Water recirculates to keep the temperature cool, and create an oasis of perpetual springtime.
