Singapore Garden Show
 

Earlier I asked a question if anyone had been to the Singapore Garden Show before and what it was like. Well, I'm just back and it really was a fabulous show. It took up two whole floors of the Suntec City Center and there were competitive displays of gardens from designers around the world that were very creative and awe-inspring. The Orchid Show, which was held within the show itself, was the best I have ever seen. One volunteer took me on a guided tour of the displays from clubs throughout SEA which featured cut flowers, hybridized and species orchids, fantastic arrangments and prize winning orchids. And, I found out that in November 2011 Singapore will be hosting the World Orchid Conference. I will try to figure out how to post photos if anyone is interested, but photos cannot do this show justice, as just a brief tour of the orchid displays alone took almost an hour, and then I spend a few more hours looking at individual plants. Altogether I was there for about 7 or 8 hours and it wasn't enough. I had to stop due to aching feet and dinner plans!

Thanks for the report, kuluk. Please do post photos. I might have to try to arrange to be in SIngapore for the World Orchid Conference.

What a delightful way to wear yourself out! I too hope that you decide to post photos.

Glad to hear you've enjoyed the show. I had aching feet after 2 hours!

Ok, I think I figured it out...http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v2...20july%202010/

hope it works!

It does work, and the photos are lovely. Thanks.

Thank you for viewing! I took a lot of photos but as I'm just an amateur with a point-and-click most of them didn't come out very well. In future years I will definitely plan my Singapore trips around the Garden Show,unfortunately it's only every 2 years.

Fun to see your photos!

The World Orchid Conference would be a great followup to the Love Boat Cruise, if it sails in Nov 2011.
