Equatorial garden

We spent much of the last day of this trip to SE Asia in the wonderful Singapore Botanic Garden, and especially admired the collections of orchids, gingers and insectivorous plants - a few of which are shown in today’s collage. The temperature in the middle of the day was 33 degrees Celsius with very high humidity - Singapore is just 100 km or so from the equator. We, and lots of other visitors, lingered for some time in the Cool House.

Our flight to Brisbane tomorrow leaves at 7 am. I’ve just set the alarm for 4! What on earth was I thinking when I made the booking?
