Singapore Garden Festival (15-22 Jul 2010)

Just 2 more days before the end of the Garden Festival, we headed straight down to Suntec Convention right after work!
It was also a good place for us to try out our Sony Alpha.
For those who have missed the exhibition, here are some of our shots.

Interesting plant, they look like a Choir.

Themed Garden

These were made of plastics! How cool and pretty!

Hampi as it is popularly known today was the medieval capital of Hindu empire Vijayanagara which translates to City of Victory. Now 500 years old still stands strong and bold. It is now listed as one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Reading under the tree, how interesting.

Balcony Garden





Bonsai Display

All these miniature displays were impressive.
We were impressed that our camera could take these macro shots beautifully too!

You won't be able to see it until you get an up-close look!



Orchids Display
Never knew there are so many species of orchids. Some look as if they are singing to me!








This exhibition also promotes the idea of eco-friendly practices for your garden.


A wide array of garden and floral display...



We spent almost 3 hours at the exhibition, split between Level 4 and Level 6 of the Convention Halls. For those who missed it, wait till next time...
