Water Lilies

Water lily leaves - have you looked at them long enough to notice that they have a beauty of their own?

Calophyllum soullatri - Malang malang

A tree that had everything - buds, flowers and fruits in different stages of development and exit. Enjoy!
















Ruellia multisetosa

What I like about the Hortpark is that every now and then I come across plants that I have never seen before such as this one that was beginning to flower in profusion. It is a pity that there is no plaque or label to identify this plant and I did make the effort to look for flowers that look like these in the book `1001 Garden Plants in Singapore without any success in discovering the identity of this particular plant. Nevertheless, I had a great time capturing their loveliness before they fade away.Justify Full
