The Singapore Botanical gardens were
like a little piece of paradise
 The gardens were established in
1859, they cover 52 hectares, with a
herbarium, a botanical library, a cool Orchid house
and 4 hectares of
primary rain forest
 The day was hot and uncomfortably humid with not
much shade but the
flowers were worth
every second of focusing the camera
 This one is called "Lady Di"
 There is also a beautiful Orchid
garden
     We just happened to visit the gardens
on the last Sunday of the month when
there are open air
concerts on the Symphony Stage
The atmosphere
was wonderful with music, beautiful
flowers and families having
picnics on the
lawns, we had a great time
