A Walk in the Garden

Thanks to Lin's ex-colleague, Murphy, we got complimentary tickets to the Singapore Garden Festival. :D What a fabulous way to unwind after a day's of work. ;) Murphy was really kind to show us around, knowing it's our first visit to the impressive floral carnival.

I managed to capture some blooms that caught my attention. :)

We were greeted by a gorgeous glow at the entrance. :) Absolutely stunning.




























How can you not love the willow heart display??? ^.^




























Orchids were hung upside down to create a beautiful floral canopy. :)



















I always feel that orchids are such elegant and timeless flowers. It's amazing the variations of orchids we have today. :)

























































The ever grand phalenopsis... :)




























I hope this humongous bouquet makes it to the Guinness World Record! :) It's impressive in size & design!




























The man who believes in trees and planted trees when everyone thought it was impossible...A 5m green statue of him...
: O The light changes colour to reflect the various time in the day.




























We were awed by these extraordinary tree branches. ;) They look like window grills. :)))



















We would love to have these rotating planters in our balcony...If only we have one...:) They provide great privacy, shield us from direct sun and beautify the home. :D



















I like the bubbly floral designs too! :)




























A refreshing combination of anthuriums, lilies & poms poms. :)




























These blooms resemble pies? :))) ... They are like a hybrid of hydrangea and scabiosa. :) Pretty.

The Singapore Garden Festival takes place every two years. The next one will be in 2012. Hence look out for it if you're planning a trip here. It's worth a visit! ;)

Our walk in the garden ended with drinks with two uni seniors, Mong Hoe & Chester whom we ran into at the garden. ^.^ We've not seen them for years. It was awesome catching up!
