Orchid Gardens in Singapore Botanical Gardens

Hi lovely people,

This blog update shall reflect Singapore as the Green City.
Being sited in the equatorial and tropical part at the Globe, could be said that would be a natural fact seeing Singapore as the Green City. 

Frankly, that is not so easy to maintain but Singapore is doing it best to find sustainable solutions for keeping the city green. 

CNN managed to list 12 reasons due which Singapore is a green city. Have a look http://travel.cnn.com/singapore/none/12-reasons-why-singapore-greenest-city-914640 

Singapore has developed the 2050 year as strategic year to accomplish its green aims http://gs2050.wikidot.com

Today Singapore cherishes a number of gardens all over the island  https://www.nparks.gov.sg/cms/

One is the orchid garden in the Singapore Botanical Garden :)


















The The National Orchid Garden, opened on 20 October 1995 by Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew, is located on the highest hill in the Singapore Botanic Gardens. Three hectares of carefully landscaped slopes provide a setting for over 1,000 species and 2,000 hybrids, with about 600 species and hybrids on display.


The distinctive feature of the National Orchid Garden is its design concept which presents the display of plants in four separate colour zones over most of its areas :the "spring" zone with its prevailing colours of bright and lively shades of gold, yellow and creams; the "summer" zone with its major tones of strong reds and pinks; the "autumn" zone of matured shades; and the "winter" zone of whites and cool blues. The colour zonation is achieved by a careful blend of selected trees, shrubs, herbs and orchids (mostly hybrids) with matching foliage and floral colors.
