Singapore Botanic Gardens - finally!

Well, I've only been here a total of 12 weeks over the last two years, and somehow I haven't made it to the Singapore Botanic Gardens until today that is. Keep in mind that Singapore is only 272 sq miles of country, but they sure do pack a lot into it.

Some sort of hanging root plant...neat
