Gardens by the bay have a new set of flora display in October. It is called Rhodosendron Radiance.

Flowers that are bundled or bunched together. Th exhibition lasts for a month. Probably these flowers are temperate.

Typically, most of the flowers that I have seen a grown individually. These species is different. Looks like many flowers are from the same stalk. In other words, it seems to derive from the Rudy version of the flower in short called Rubicon.

The entrance is filled with various colors of the flowers.

This set of flowers appears to be dying as the exhibition opens. One can notice the drooping of the flowers including single  stigmas without petals.


From the top of the entrance, one can see a cable car prop where a couple of bears is coming down from the
