Dunno why such awesome orchids are called ‘duh’s crown’ at Gardens by the Bay, Singapore. #gardensbythebay #gardensbythebaysingapore #gardensbythebayflowerdome

The above photo was snapped by me while on a short trip to Singapore. We visited Gardens by the Bay flower dome and I took the liberty to take these awesome orange orchids for posterity. I find it strange that they are nicknamed 'Duh's crown!' These orange orchids are genuine and carefully tended to with green fingers of the gardeners in the flower dome, a complete air-con building built of study glass where sunlight can penetrate through for photosynthesis - a process where plants make its own food out of oxygen, sunlight, and water. We need more greenery such as those planted in Singapore where there are no mountains except small Bukit Timah to run to in case of war! I just love the large repertoire of plants and flowers here. The flora and fauna make the ecosystem stable and sustainable.
