Flower Dome is located adjacent to Cloud Forest in Gardens by the Bay. One shouldn’t pay to enter this attraction alone, but on a joint ticket with Cloud Forest. As we entered Flower Dome comparitively late in the afternoon, the ticket checkers told people who had not been to the adjacent attraction to go there first.
Inside is an array of themed gardens featuring flora fround around the planet. There is an ancient olive grove for example.
Hector is not a Botanist but recognised the cluster of – Baobab – bottle trees.
Having been on our feet for hours, we could have done with a pit stop in the cool interior of this construction, alas – no food/drink – remains the strict policy.
Some Malcolm Mooney (CAN) lyrics were brought to mind:
But don’t care about nothing
She brings the rain
Oh yeah she brings the rainIn the dawn of the silvery day
Clouds seem to melt away
She brings the rain
Oh yeah she brings the rainShe brings the rain, it feels like spring
Magic mushrooms out of dreams
She brings the rain
Oh yeah she brings the rainSo mellow yellow grey disappears
Flying on the raven’s wing
She brings the rain
Oh yeah she brings the rain
Yes I care, she brings me spring
But don’t care about nothing
She brings the rain
Oh yeah she brings the rain
She brings the rain, it feels like spring
Magic mushrooms out of things
She brings the rain, it feels like spring
She brings the rain, it feels like spring
She brings the rain, it feels like spring
She brings the rain
Clouds seem to melt away
She brings the rain
Oh yeah she brings the rain
Oh yeah she brings the rain
Oh yeah she brings the rain
