There is a small garden just at the corner of the road junction. The Oxblood Lily looks gorgeous.
The Purple Sage with silvery leaves looks quite unique. I took 3 picture of it in Garden by the Bay last week and was trying to find its name. This time round I managed to find it.
The Paper Flower Plant color looks very different. I wonder if it is a different subspecies or a faded purple color.
The Thailand PowderPuff flower looks very striking. I don't know whether it is my triggering finger or what, quite a number of objects in zoomed picture slants to the right. I need to remember to offset it to the left before pulling the trigger.
Along the PCN, I came across another small garden which have a plant that looks like Brocoli leaves.
In the same garden there are three different color Gomphrenas. I took a picture of two of the less common ones. The most common one is purple color.
There is an odd Golden Shrimp plant growing there. It is much nicer to see more of it.
I am getting confused by the Yunan Garden and Yunan Park. Both have the 南洋大学 arch (the former is a duplicate). On consulting the map, Yunan Garden is just next to NTU. Whereas Yunan Park is just a small park behind the original Arch.
This Neptunia (false mimosa) grows all over the ground in front of Yunan Park. It is interesting to note that it has Yellow petals and White stamens. I never notice it before.
This ugly looking fruit pod is from a beautiful flower of a Illawara Flame Tree. Previously, I had to purposely get down from a bus near Clementi just to take its flower picture. It grows plentifully along Jurong West St 93.
This Purple Allamanda grows along the road side. Its from another small garden.
My all time favorite - the Hibiscus.
Its real hard to cut through HDB blocks. Tends to get disoriented by the concrete jungle. Managed to find my way to the overhead bridge to the Yunan Garden. Just besides the overhead bridge, this Flame of the Forest grows beautifully just near by.
On the entrance of the Yunan Park, there is a sign board that says "visitors please report to the guard post". There is indeed a guard post there but there is nobody inside. None of the pedestrians even bother about it. So I guess it must be obsolete.
This park is actually quite big and well maintained. There are quite a number of plants being tagged. Most of them are trees. I am only interested in flowering trees thus did not bother to take picture of those which has no flower.
Song of India is always a nice plant to take picture although it does not have flower. Its leaves are just beautiful.
Came across a tree that have lots of fruits. At first I was wondering what tree is that. Then I looked further down and found another tree with cotton hanging on it. It is then I realize that it is a Silk Cotton Tree.
Further down, the Milky Way Plant looks just marvelous.
The Yellow Poinclane Tree is very common. I always have problem taking picture of its flower as it is a very tall tree. This is the last plant picture I took in Yunan Garden.
The Giant Crepe Myrtle is another tall tree. This one is just low enough to take a close up picture.
My HTC give up on me near Jurong West Library. I forgot to charge it to full thus only started with 67% charge. The worst thing is the I am lazy to carry the portable charger. Thus, I had to cut short the trip and go straight down to Boon Lay MRT after I took a picture of an Elephant's Foot Plant.
This is the first time I took a picture of this plant with its flower in full bloom. It is a very small flower. Took the picture at full digital zoom. Luckily the sun is up high thus can take a clear picture.
