tourist spot in singapore
Why are they so busy in the Eco Garden?
It takes approximately 3 minutes to reach the Eco Garden in Singapore Botanic Gardens from the Botanic Gardens MRT. It is a worthwhile trip for a visitor to have a glimpse of the celebrities and fun makers!
At the same time you must be wondering what are they doing and why are they so busy?
So let’s do a survey…
Some busy on sprouting their new generation.
Some busy on preparing ‘Singapore’s Beauty Contest’.
Some are still adjusting the costumes or trying to be a ‘copy duck’.
So busy to the extent forget about the leg.
Some busy on searching, with what?
Some busy on cleaning up the water…
Some busy on the ground…
Some busy on the road…
Some busy on the grass…
Some still busy on wandering and wondering…
Wondering why some just busy on watching…
How we grow up in this garden
We have grown up together inside this enchanting garden. We feel contented living inside this gate, to be an orchid plant forever! Visiting hour is the happy hour, but not for beer, but for our open heart and bright smiley cheers!
Some of my friends live in the lab, shaking their bodies day and night looking for a fertile time to stick out the neck and say hello!
Some of them may have to wait as long as 3 years to be a hybrid, it is an honorable journey to demark them a reputation status.
Some just grow up a normal way and happily dress up every day in satin red.
Or being a yellow tie?
Or being a purple butterfly?
And station outside the National Orchid Garden as a cheerleading live rock band!
Please drop us a note if you are fond of us and want to be our long life fans!
We always welcome you with open hands and greet you from far before you land!

Sculpture “Momentum”
The sculpture “Momentum” located at the triangle traffic junction of Finlayson Green and Collyer Quay. The vibrant color of this sculpture penetrates every passer-by’s eyes, and energizes the core of this financial district of Shenton Way.
This sculpture is made of steel and painted with vibrant colors. The sculptor, David Gerstein was born in 1944 and this works of his was built in 2007. This is a huge piece of art interms of height 18.35m and 11.157 in diameter.
It presents layers upon layers of figures in an upward spiral motion. It signifies the population’s high energy and a continuouf of progress.
It pays tribute to the nation of past and present. Upon appreciative of their strength and ingenuity. Without it, Singapore will not be a dynamic metropolis today.
This vibrant color sculpture spreading out his color in this vibrant garden city, for sure is not coincidental.

The saga of a lovely Saga tree
Saga tree (Adenanthera pavonina) is one of the top popular trees in Singapore. By saying that, we wish to imagine its presence but sometimes without even knowing its existence.
The Saga tree is hardy and fast growing species. It can grow like a giant in 15-20m tall and widely spread out to provide shade and like a welcoming kind father.
The fruits pods of this tree contain scarlet seeds, each of the 4 seeds make up 1 gram. In the past, it is widely used on gold and silver as a weight measurement.
The red seeds are a well-know love seeds among all warm and solicitude heart. Some like to collect it and store it up in bottle for their love ones. Some prefer to stitch it up forming a necklace and some place it to form a heart-shape.
This Saga tree is located at Botanic gardens. He treated his fern fans as his own family. Surrounded with their friendship and love. They lived together and share the wide blue sky. Spreading love-seeds to passer-bys, it also naturalized through out Malaysia and Africa. This is the core soul of Saga tree, the saga never fail to entice!
Every end marks a new beginning
The rare Talipot Palm (Corypha umbraculifera) is flowering for the first and the last time after 80 years of growth.
Over the next few months, it will produce some 24 million tiny flowers, and hopefully some seed, before it finally withers (by courtesy of Singapore Botanic Gardens).
If life ends with 24 million of flowers in exchange of a new dream, it’s just like the story of fireworks; it ends and relives our hope again!
A corner of the Park
Gardener always remain low and contribute so much effort to maintain the cleanliness of the park. They are always doing their job without any spotlight flashing on them. So, when you happen to pass-by them, do mind your step to give them your respect and status they deserved. They might be as low as grass, as tiny as sand, but they are equal on earth.
Sunlight and dropping leaves are the most favorable subjects on their stage of life.
Sometime they have to hide themselves in the lush to exchange the bowl of rice on their table.
An endless sweeping job day and night, through months and years. Are we able to take over them?
You can be a jaywalker, but have your grace and don’t litter around.
As there are many CCTV security systems watching you at everywhere you step on.
61) Who are they footing outside Singapore Botanic Gardens
We always stumbled over the grand entrance whenever we enter a brand new tourist spot. The next moment we just can’t wait to see the new adventures coming your way. So gate crash!
And we ignored the little fairies calling outside the entrance that made up the big picture as a whole.
This may happen in Singapore Botanic Gardens but not the way I perceive it.
They are not invisible, they are just lying low.
They are as gorgeous as fairy.
They are the encyclopedias in silent I should read.
So who are they…?
Some I don’t know, some I knew, but most importantly, they need to be known!
Young ginger changing himself in blush!
Banana flower dressing up in pink!!
Floating musical notes!!!
Listen to the Weeping Tea tree’s calling!!!!
Where are your bamboo friends, My Bamboo Orchid?
Bring them outside the fence. We need more fans!!!!!
