Botanic Garden

This is the first trip blog of the year after a dull of over a month or so. Actually, I did go for at least one walking trip each week. It is just that I went to the same Botanic Garden but to different part of it. These trips are just for photo taking purposes which I usually don't blog about it. I did the same for Hort Park and GBB.

Since this is 6 trips in a single locality, I think it is worthwhile to show some of the results of the photo taking trips. The following are just some of the excerpts of the photos. The three albums will be listed at the end of this blog.

The six trips were bundled in three albums. More than 1700 photos are taken. Close to 400 unique species were entered. Many of them are just leaves as you must have the right time and right place to take a complete plant information with fruits and flowers.
