Program Title: Bromeliads at Gardens by the Bay, Singapore
Program Summary: The official grand opening of Gardens by the Bay project in Singapore was July 28th 2012. Linda and I joined many dignitaries from Singapore and other countries, and a large contingent of Singaporean citizens, who were invited to witness history. The opening included several hours to peruse the beautiful grounds, amazing ‘Super Trees’ and the almost incomprehensibly large and technologically stunning cool-dry house dubbed the ‘flower dome’ and the cool-moist house or cloud forest. I will try to describe with photographs the almost indescribable, the amazing Gardens by the Bay.
Seedling: Neoregelia ‘Guinea’ supplied by Jimmy Woolsey.
