Once , I entered into the centre, there are more varieties of orchids. It is very pretty.

Orchids are small flowers and comes in various colours.

 As I walked along the centre, I am trigger happy. I snapped as many photos as I can. The weather is cooling in the morning despite of the dry and warm temperature in March.
