Cloud Forest Conservatory, Singapore (Picture Intensive)
 

Here are some pictures taken from a trip to the Cloud Forest Conservatory in Singapore. It's indeed an orchid paradise. The Cloud Forest conservatory replicates the cool-moist climate of the tropical montane regions between 1,000m to 3,500m above sea level. There is a seven storey mountain and a waterfall. It has already given me inspiration to build my own vertical walls of orchids.

The many green vents are actually very powerful fan or ventilation, that constantly keeps the air moving throughout the dome.
