Flower Dome - A Kaleidoscope Of Colours, Shapes And Patterns!

Gardens By The Bay 
Marina South, Singapore 
June 2013 

Merlion Wayfarer was invited to preview Gardens By The Bay's "Flight Of Fancy", a new thematic floral experience with miniature hot air balloons, airplanes and kites. 

It was her first visit to the conservatories. 

Spectacular and innovative in design, the Flower Dome replicates the cool-dry climate of Mediterranean regions like South Africa, California and parts of Spain and Italy. Home to a collection of plants from deserts all over the world, it showcases the adaptations of plants to arid environments.

And my, she was wowed by the kaleidoscope of colours, shapes and patterns there!

Pinks...

Reds...

Oranges...

Yellows...


Greens...

Purples...

 Whites...

Converging lines from the conservatory's dome creating perspective...
  
A funny face...

"Starbursts"...

Sculptures which stand out, and sculptures which are well-hidden...

Even the rain created little waves on the glass panes...
