Pink blooms at Garden at the Bay

Dominique Parenting and Kids, Wordful Wednesday

5 petal bloom

Pink is one of my favourite colors. While at the flower dome at Garden at the Bay I managed to see many lovely pink flowers.

I found this flower rather unusual. It was the first time that I saw pokka dotted petals on a flower.

This is another pink and white bloom which I spotted. I love the coloring on the petal. It gives the flower some extra “texture”.

pink hibiscus

The hibiscus was another pink flower which I spotted. It is a rather large flower with a really pretty stamen in the center.

Blooms and Fruits at Garden at the Bay

Purple bloom

Flowers are one of my favourite subject for Macro photography. A few weeks back we visited the flower dome and cloud forest at Gardens at the Bay.

There were many unusual flowers which I have not seen before at the Flower Dome. It was really fun capturing all of them on camera.

A pink bloom

There was a variety of single and cluster blooms. I personally find it easier to focus on a single flower then a cluster as it was more difficult to judge which angle will give a better shot with a cluster.

However this bunch of fruit really caught my attention. Don’t you find it really unique? The covering had split open exposing the fruit but at the same time remained fastened to the stem. Interesting isn’t it.
