Botanical Garden Contribution


The loving pigeons.
The park.
Mr Snail.


The bamboo growth illustrate the healthy growth of the living. Looking this angle from below, lead me great thoughts of height and I started to question myself how high and tall should a human growth too. When is enough?
We just have to keep reminding ourselves about being strong internally and mentally.
With the purity of heart, I will be able to find my directions.

Pictures taken in HortPark Singapore

Here are some of my contributions to HortPark Singapore.

It is a one-stop gardening hub that brings together gardening-related, recreational, educational, research and retail activities under one big canopy in a park setting.
This 23-hectare regional park us being connected between Telok Blangah Hill Park to Kent Ridge Park.
It is a nice venue to take photos and relax.
But the ugly thing about the park is that it is beside a series of buildings which spoil the atmosphere of a park.
Overall : I rate it as 4 1/2 Star.





The hear t of the flower.








The banana tree flower.


White Water Lily.
Purple Water Lily.

A busy bee at work. Look at the pollen collected on the legs.
Bees eat nectar (sugary water) and pollen (yellow protein powder) which are made by flowers. Babies are fed lots of pollen, because they need the protein to grow.
Nectar is what the a worker bee uses to make honey. When she gets to a flower, she drinks as much nectar as she can hold.

If a worker finds a place with lots of flowers, she marks it with a pheromone (scent). Then she flies back get her friends to move toward the direction her scent and the food.
