Orchids on Parade

Ok, so this post is a liiiittle bit way overdue, but pardon me, I've been busy.

Did you go for the 20th World Orchid Convention this last year? No? Let me fill you in.

it was held somewhere in that building.

It's basically THE orchid event of the year. If you really love orchids, this event might be what your idea of heaven looks like.

paying to see flowers. not something many people would do, or so you'd think.

I mean, it was literally orchid overdose that day. You could see them in all shapes, sizes, colors. You name it, and it was probably there on display.

For lack of a better word to sum up my experience with  the flowers, I must say that they truly are pretty. Very very pretty.

But a huge part of my enthusiasm for going to (and paying for) this event was really the preview of the Flower Dome over at Gardens By The Bay. It's like a futuristic dome that doubles as a greenhouse for temperate plants situated along Marina Bay.

beautiful Gardens by the Bay / futuristic dome!

stuff inside the dome...

beautiful desert rose.

and of course, camwhoring. 花痴！

I thought it was damn cool the way they arranged everything in there. If you like plants and flowers, or if you like fancy futuristic greenhouses for its architecture, go check this place out!

Oh wait, you can't, the Flower Dome only opens in June next this year. Something to look forward to I guess.
