Since 1859, orchids have been closely associated with the Singapore Botanic Garden. The products of the Gardens’ orchid breeding programme, which began in 1928, deserve a place where they can be displayed in their full splendor. The very design of these orchids is, one could say, “hand-crafted” by the Gardens’ horticultural staff, dedicated to bringing out the finest in any hybrid cross… 
To me, the National Orchid Garden has put up the best nature show that I have ever seen. The richness and the diversity of colors displayed by this wide variety of hybrid orchids are emotionally soothing and spiritually enchanting. They look elegant from far, and sensually stimulating when seen up-closed. The myriad of orchid blooms produce a wide spectrum of spectacular lights illuminating the entire floralscape. However, it is sometimes beyond the capacity of our naked eyes to really appreciate the true splendor of these divine flowers. Hence viewing of this show is perhaps best through a pair of good lens, and here I shall share this enchanting moment which has captivated me throughout the entire three hours’ journey I had in this balmy atmosphere of a secluded tropical garden with you. The show which I have named “the orchids delight…”, features a wide variety of personalities, dressed in their native colorful costumes and makeup, either solo or in groups; some are stunning, some are subtle; some are patterned, some are unadorned; some are intricate, some are simple. All in all, it has just been an exhilarating and breath taking journey…
My take away from the show is “don’t believe what you cannot see. What we can not see, or understand, is not necessarily non existence…”
