Let it be said right away:
Don't visit this botanical garden to see caudiciforms , cacti and
succulents. When that is said, I can only highly recommend this awesome
park in Singapore. It is, without doubt, one of the finest maintained BG
I ever seen.
It covers an area of 63 hectare. See more: The Garden; 100 photos. 215 orchid photos can be found on: Orchids |

It covers a huge area, including large lakes and hillsides. There might not be names on that many plants, but it is a beautiful park! |
