Bukit Sekilau Botanical Garden (Part 2)

So here's the second part of my walk around Bukit Sekilau. These pictures were taken on a different day, in the early morning. I walk around these same streets at least once a month because each time I do, there is always something different to see. I guess there are many eager gardeners in Bukit Sekilau! Enjoy the photos:

I love the star shape of this flower with the pentagon in the middle:

I've never seen this flower before...

This small plant with colourful leaves representing flames of fire was a definite eye-catcher:

This plant formed a blanket of green and purple leaves:

Check out these HUGE leaves!

I first came across these tiger orchids at the Singapore Botanic Gardens, and have now spotted them on a number of occasions in Bukit Sekilau, Kuantan, Malaysia

Peculiar cactus-like plant:

This particular bush with Catharine-wheel flowers has been here for the last 5 years with a continual flow of new flowers in bud:

Singapore Botanic Gardens

It was exactly a year ago yesterday that I ventured around the Singapore Botanic Gardens. The images before my eyes, stored in my brain and on camera, are unforgettable; I often flash back and reminisce on that lovely day in Singapore. The Singapore Botanic Gardens can be accessed on Cluny Road - I took the lengthy walk from the Newton MRT, along Bukit Timah Road, and left down Cluny Road. For those who are more sane, taking a taxi would be a better idea!

The Singapore Botanic Gardens has a fresh and alive feel to it, which captures you as soon as you enter the grounds. Grassy plains, undulating hills, lofty trees, running waters and gorgeous orchids make this place something else. There is so much to see that one really needs to spend an entire day there, to fully appreciate its grandeur. A fully charged camera would also be handy!

I took a plethora of photos that day and I don't remember snapping a single bad picture. Everywhere you look is beauty. Here is a selection of my favourite memories:
