hortpark it was hortpark (at alexandra road) today, bright and early! set off from house before 8 to reach there at 9 (butterfly garden open from 9-11 am). not a far walk from the bus stop and if you are heading there from the southern ridges, it will be a nice finale.     the butterfly garden is actually a conservation centre, where they hope to bring back extinct species to singapore. the area is quite small, so for people who are leery of insects, you might feel claustrophobic. but it makes finding the butterflies easy. also it's quite humid in there (i think if you're a singaporean, it should be quite normal). the staff also provide brochures about the different plants and butterflies you will encounter in the enclosure.  common rose (aristolochiae asteris)  leopard lacewing (cethosia cyane), one of the more common types there.  common tiger (danaus genutia)   common mormon (papilio polytes romulus), very hard to take, they don't keep still.  blue glassy tiger (ideopsis vulgaris macrina)  peacock pansy (junonia almana javana)  lime butterfly (thanks entertainer for that info!) one thing to note is that you have to eat before going there. there is a cafe, but it's quite measly. no seats, only high tables and they serve only sandwiches and puffs. the price is reasonable but doesn't fill your tummy. after this opening, the butterfly garden will every last saturday of the month. not very sure about the details though. you can visit the hortpark website for more information. |
