Flower Dome @ Gardens by the Bay

The Flower Dome Conservatory at the Gardens by the Bay, where the entrance is on the same floor as the ticketing area, does not look like much at first glance. In fact, if you have visited the Cloud Forest initially, you will feel that this conservatory does not seem like much. You might want to take a look at this Dome first so that your expectations are not pushed up too high. :)

Take a look at the picture below on what greets you the moment you step in.

Personally, I think it is a mistake to show trees/plants from the cactus family the moment you step in. The impact, is just not as great as the waterfall you see at the Cloud Forest. :)  The area is quite big and all the pretty flowers are actually "downstairs" as you can see from the pictures below. As I went during the Halloween period, you can see quite a few pumpkins too around the dome. :)

As you can see from the pictures above, there are quite a number of resting areas for you if you are a little tired after all the walking. The area above are mostly trees/plants from the cactus family, but still there are some cactus flowers blooming. I've not seen a cactus flower before though so it was pretty interesting for me.

Anyway, I've grouped all the photos I've taken in the Flower Dome below. Do note that the flowers below are the more interesting flowers. Enjoy...

Do note that if you want to re-enter the dome, you can request for the staff at the exit to stamp your hand so that you can re-enter, valid for the day only. Have fun...
