Flower Dome, Gardens by the Bay, Singapore

The Flower Dome is a huge structure that is air-conditioned so that the flower gardens within it flourish at optimal temperature. There are different gardens offering displays of plants that grow in that particular region, e.g. the South African Garden, the Australian Garden, etc. The variety of plants and flowers is amazing. The colors are a visual feast that takes your breath away.
The Hibiscus flowers are of different colors and variety, some of which are achingly beautiful. Their blooms are much larger than our local hibiscus.
There are different types of cacti and unusual Baobabs from the Mediterranean and sub-tropical regions.
I took so many photographs of the beautiful flowers that it is impossible to post them all here.

The Marina Bay Sands Hotel & Casino is a stone's throw away and stands imposingly in the background just across the highway. You can easily walk from the hotel to the Gardens via an overhead bridge that takes you across to the Dragonfly Bridge, leading to the Supertree Grove.
