Barbara Richardson, my 87-year-old neighbor loves orchids so when I knew that I had to take photos of the world’s largest orchid garden at the Singapore Botanic Gardens.
My favorite spot in this garden-within-a-garden is the cold house! It is so hot in Singapore that instead of a hothouse, they need a cold house. And it felt marvelous to get out of the heat to spend time with the gorgeous orchids!
