Last of the series @ HortPark

More flowers blooming @ HortPark

Part XIII
Time and flowers wait for no one - capturing on them in bits and bytes make them last forever.
Hope to be back at the 23 hectare horticultural park, also known as the "Gardening Hub" of Singapore soon.

Clematis aristata
[Traveller's Joy, Goatsbeard]

[Daisy, 雏菊]
A pity these daisies are behind a glasshouse.
But the glasshouses are there for good reasons.
As Singapore is near the Equator, its climate is perpetual summer. These glasshouses will have cool temperatures and low humidity similiar to springtime in the Mediterranean regions. Plant species are grown and tested here for the Cool Dry Conservatory to be built at Gardens by the Bay.
Can't wait for our next garden to be ready, but it's going to be quite a wait - Phase I will be only ready end 2010.
