National Orchid Garden

This weekend we ventured over to the Singapore Botanic Gardens to get some exercise and have brunch.  The Botanic Gardens are located near the center of Singapore and span 183 acres.  It is home to multiple lakes, an amphitheater, Ginger Garden, Healing Garden, Rainforest, Evolution Garden, Children's Garden, and the National Orchid Garden.  Entry is free to all of the Gardens excluding the Orchid Garden, and that is only $5 SG, so it is a great place to go for a walk and escape from the busy city life.

The Orchid Garden is a popular tourist attraction so with camera in hand, we headed over to take in all the beauty. I highly recommend a trip there if you ever get a chance!

Amphitheater in the Gardens.  We would love to come see an event here.

After we left the Orchid Garden we walked through the Ginger Garden
and found these awesome lily pads

This adventure convinced me that I have to try and grow some orchids when we move into our apartment.  Orchids are the national flower of Singapore so it only seems right.
