Gardens by the Bay II - Flower Dome


Of the two conservatories, I have to confess, I liked the other more! But this one is impressive as well. It replicates the "cool-dry climate of Mediterranean regions like South Africa, California and parts of Spain and Italy" in a man-made, controlled environment.

 


It has Mediterranean and subtropical regions...

 

...baobab and other interesting trees (?)...

 
 

...sculptures...


...temporary decorations in preparation for CNY (i.e. Chinese New Year)...

 
 
 

...and last, but not least interesting architectural details and views.
