Punggol riverside park and Lorong Halus Wetland

Took a detour to Punggol Riverside Park and Lorong Halus Wetland on Friday. I must say that i'm very impressed with the layout and how the park was built. This park is worth visiting especially after the plants have mature and more birds and animals have settled in.

Some pictures that i took except the bridge which i think has been shown or photograph many many times.















Serangoon Tidal Gate

Christensonia vietnamica

Bought this during my first JB Orchids Show.... It has been flowering on and off...

Plants are found growing in deciduous lowland forest of Vietnam at elevations of 0 to 700 meters.

Do they look the same?
