Singapore Botanical Garden

We head off early this morning for Singapore’s Botanical Garden. The Metro Circle Line runs directly from the Harbor Front Station to the Botanical Garden Station. We arrive and set off through the park. 

The highlights:

Trees and Landscape

Animals

Orchids

Other Flowers

Water

Rubber

Although Southeast Asia accounts for 70% of the world’s natural rubber supply, rubber trees are not endemic to Asia. They were brought here, via England, from Brazil. 

I made a note to myself to learn more about the history of the rubber industry. Yet another reminder of the contributions of global trade to the betterment of mankind.
