Singapore’s Cloud Forest Conservatory<\/a> is a great place for orchids. It houses large displays of orchid species and hybrids, along with ferns, carnivorous plants<\/a>, and other tropical greenery. The enormous glasshouse replicates a cloud forest<\/a>, which is a high mountain forest bathed in constant mist and cool temperatures. Some of these varieties, like Masdevallias<\/a>, Odonts<\/a>, and Zygos<\/a>, are the same ones that we can grow outdoors<\/a> on the foggy Northern California coast.<\/p>\n

Conservatory visitors can marvel at lots of exotic blooms, lush growth, green walls, and a towering indoor waterfall. Elevated walkways feature this indoor jungle from higher vantage points. The conservatory is part of Singapore’s enormous Gardens by the Bay nature park<\/a>. I’ll have photos from the adjacent glasshouse, the Flower Dome, in a future post. I’ll have more of Dave’s pictures from the Cloud Forest Conservatory, too, so check back again soon. Enjoy orchids from the Singapore Botanic Gardens<\/a> and National Orchid Garden<\/a> in my earlier posts.<\/p>\n
