national orchid garden

Located within Singapore Botanic Gardens, which boasts a sprawling display of 60,000 orchid plants.

We visited here on part of the City Tour, somewhat being rather a rushed affair. We weren't given much time, I could have walked around for hours!

On arrival at Singapore Changi airport there were displays of large bowl shaped planters full of the most stunning, colourful orchids I have ever seen. What a greeting, and not surprising this airport was voted second best airport in the World Airport Awards 2008.
