You can find flowers everywhere in Singapore, even in the airport where orchids were artfully arranged on the stainless steel platforms of the luggage carousels.
There were flowers in the malls, like this single perfect lotus. Then of course the Singapore Botanical Garden had more species of spectacular and unusual flowers.
A Spider Lily. A Torch Ginger.
The Botanical Garden was free except for the Orchid Garden, well worth the price of admission.
An orchid with a pink ruffled lip. An orchid with purple markings.
A ghostly yellow orchid.
A richly-coloured orchid with a dark pink ruffled lip.
A cream orchid with burgundy/yellow splotches on three sepals.
Of course I have lots more photos of orchids (and other strange-to-me plants) in groups of two or more, but for this challenge I have focused on the single perfect ones.

Your lotus is so beautiful WOWZA. I absolutely adore your flower gallery for this week Lens-Artist challenge. Thanks so much for playing along 😀
I though the lotus was perfect but had more character than many lotuses who are content to be nothing but beautiful.
Singapore is one of the few places in the far east that we’ve not been but the images of it I’ve seen make me sorry we’ve passed on it so far. Your floral display makes me wish even more to get there. They’re all beautiful but I think my favorite is the orchid with purple. It’s very special.
Working on these photos made me want to run out and buy an orchid to brighten up my rainy day. Singapore is an interesting mix of intriguing modern architecture sitting next to abundant greenery, and great food too. Worth visiting for sure.
Wow, what a special, beautiful flower gallery! You captured the uniqueness and detail of these flowers.
I love botanical gardens and Singapore certainly had a huge variety of unique plants and so many orchids. I’m afraid I went a bit crazy!
Nice collection, but my favorite is that torch ginger! Nice shot!
I really wanted my own torch ginger, but I don’t think you can grow them in Canada. Too bad, they’re so unique!
I had never heard of the before your post. No surprise, I am plant illiterate. 😀
Often the best part of Botanical Gardens is that the plants are labelled and I often write down the names if I’m especially intrigued by the plant.
It’s funny when you’re looking for a solitary flower for this challenge how many pictures have more than one in – often many more. I especially like the spider lily picture – you’ve created a very interesting effect with the lines and the colours.
Orchids always come in sprays so taking a photo with just one in it meant getting up really close. Fortunately I went nuts taking photos there so I had a lot of photos to pick from. The spider lily had such an intriguing shape, and the white flowers really stood out against the dark green leaves.
Beautiful selection.
Wow. Real beauties! Well done.
Nice flowers snaps😊
Beautiful and fascinating.
All beautiful flowers, but the torch ginger was just gorgeous.
