Long before I ever had a concrete plan to visit Singapore, I knew exactly which of Singapore’s tourist attractions I was most excited to visit; The National Orchid Garden.

It’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and home to the world’s largest collection of Orchids, with a variety of areas highlighting species’ varying environments, Singapore’s orchid breeding heritage, and the nation state’s penchant for naming flowers after celebrities and foreign dignitaries.

The National Orchid Garden is one of many gardens located within the country’s National Botanical Gardens, which span about 200 acres and include several other attractions.

Fair warning: this post is VERY heavy on pictures and light on text, and I recommend viewing on something larger than a phone.
