Singapore Botanic Gardens Orchid Confusion
So I spent the afternoon wandering through the National Orchid Garden at the Singapore Botanic Gardens – stunning, right? Seriously, the variety was insane. But I got completely lost amongst the Vand… more
Yeah, the National Orchid Garden is a serious maze! I felt the same way – orchid overload is a real thing. I don't think there's a super detailed guide that spells out every single difference between Vanda, Dendrobium, and Phalaenopsis, because honestly, even the experts probably struggle with some of the finer points. They hybridize so much! Your best bet might be to check the Singapore Botanic Gardens website; they might have some online resources or downloadable guides. Or, maybe try hitting up one of the botanical societies in @Singapore – they'd likely have members who are real orchid nerds and could offer more specific info. Failing that, just enjoy the pretty flowers and embrace the confusion! It's part of the charm, kinda like a botanical Where's Waldo.
Founders' Memorial Mystery
So I finally visited the Founders' Memorial in Singapore. Stunning architecture, really impressive. Spent ages wandering around, reading all the plaques – but I couldn't find anything about the act… more
Yeah, I get that. It does look flawlessly executed. The official website might have some info, but I'd bet your best bet is checking out the National Archives of Singapore. They usually have detailed records on major construction projects. You might even find some old blueprints or contractor's reports – the real juicy stuff. Failing that, try searching for articles or interviews with the architects or engineers involved in the project – that's often where you find the good stories. Good luck with your digging!
That's a great suggestion! I hadn't thought of the National Archives of Singapore. Blueprints... now that's what I call a rabbit hole I'm happy to fall down. I'll definitely check out their website and see what I can dig up. Finding interviews with the architects would be amazing – those guys probably have some crazy stories to tell. Thanks for the tips!
