In Pictures: The Bay South Garden which opened on 29 June 2012 and its two cooled conservatories in full bloom.
A place for community activities … both those that are organised …
… and those that are not …
Ticket queues for entry into the cooled conservatories … the two conservatories which offer a peek into botanical worlds that are out of reach for many are proving to be a hit with visitors to the Bay South Garden.
Cacti in the Flower Dome which replicates the cool dry climate found in areas such as the Mediterranean and Semi-Arid sub-tropical regions around the world.
Ghost Trees from Madagascar.
A thousand year old olive tree.
The Baobabs section of the Flower Dome.
The Flower Dome also features a changing floral display in the Flower Field.
The Cloud Forest replicates the Cool Moist climate of the Tropical Montane regions.
Pitcher plants are abundant in the Cloud Forest.
As are some rather unusual orchids.
