FLOWERS!

Went to Hort Park on Tuesday. It was simply awesome! The diverse variety of plants and flowers is so jaw-dropping. The plants and flowers of these kinds are definitely not what we would get to see everyday on the road.


The "starting point" of Hort Park; known as the Silver Garden.


What is this? It's the Bird of Paradise! It's just so stunningly beautiful and unique!


A cluster of white flowers. Don't ask what are the flowers called.


Lo and behold! Guess what we sighted? A red, hot, flaming PINK in the middle of a sea of white ones! Awww...



We saw an odd-looking tree as well. Don't ask what are those weird-weird things hanging down from the trunk; 'cause I also don't know.


Bamboo!



Nice flowers.



A not-so-nice flower. The BANANA FLOWER! *cough cough so cough cough ugly cough cough*



Why is this plant called "Mock Strawberry"?


'Cause its flowers look like miniature ones!


I like this particular flower the most. The leaves are dark-blood red. The flower stalk is pale purple in colour, while the flower buds are in a shade of bright purple-blue. It almost looks like the flower buds are illuminating or fluorescence-ing! UTTERLY AWED!





We went to the glasshouses next. The plants there are being grown in such a conducive environment that the flowers they bud are totally amazing! Most - if not all - of the petals are perfectly coloured and intact (read: no warm-infested or pest-infested holes). AND the flower petals all look so symmetrical! It was totally amazing! Even the daisies all look so symmetrically beautiful!



This plant really intrigues me. It reminds me of grapes, but yet, it's shinier and glossier. AND it's PINK in colour! I nearly couldn't believe my eyes when I first saw it. "GASP!!! WHAT IS THAT?!", yep, that's my first reaction.




The daisies, I repeat, are so symmmetrically beautifully!
