It is beautiful and HOT and peaceful and HOT. Amazingly unlike all other orchids I have visited these were almost all outdoors. Because In Singapore - the climate IS a greenhouse.
Every day has a high of around 90 degrees. Every day gets one rain shower. The night time low is around 78 degrees.
The only orchids that needed protection were the ones exclusively found at the top of the rain forests in the cooler mountain air.
There was even a special area for orchids named after celebrities.
Apparently, if you are famous and visit the gardens - they will name one for you. We searched for the reported Elton John orchid, but no luck. We did find several named for Princess Di.
Oh and in case you are wondering, there are an estimated 25,000 - 30,000 species of orchid - so they won't run out before you get here.
