Day 3 Part Two - Gardens by the Bay - Cloud Forest

Had a lazy morning hanging around the house and decided to take a Grab in the afternoon to this lush downtown location called Gardens by the Bay. I started with the Cloud Forest followed by the Flower Dome and a shuttle to Floral Fantasy.

Cloud Forest and Flower Dome are the two large domes near the water. Floral Fantasy is on the far left in this map.

Supertrees grove. Measuring 25 and 50 meters tall, these "trees" provide shade during the day and are part of a wonderful light show at night.

Dropping me off at the main entrance, I began with the Cloud Forest and its beautiful waterfall greeted me!

Flowers abound in this temperature-controlled environment and it's a wonderful escape from the hot, humid days in Singapore.

Orchids of the Amazon were featured in their own mini archway display.

The well-kept gardens were a feast for the eyes at every turn. Besides flowers and lush greenery, sculptures adorned the hillsides and offered a "find-me-if-you-can" experience.

All sculptures here were created using Legos.

Carnivorous plants with magnifying glasses strategically placed to see the tiny teeth of the Venus Flytrap.

A special Secret Garden exhibit awaited visitors as the "last hurrah" before exiting Cloud Forest.

At every turn, these Gardens by the Bay used their space to exhibit artwork and celebrate the Lunar New Year, year of the rat.
