Bay South Garden, opened to the public on June 29, 2012, is the largest of the three Gardens by the bay, and its aim is to show off tropical horticulture and the art of gardening.
The design of the garden was inspired by an orchid, a symbol of the tropics and of Singapore. The Vanda Miss Joaquim orchid is the country’s national flower.
The imaginary orchid can be seen along the seafront, in the enormous greenhouses, resembling petals, while the pattern on the ground reproduces the shape of the leaves, the paths and roads running through the flowers and plants represent the blossoms and the water pipes and communication lines the roots.
