I wasn’t expecting to see ginger flowers blooming in the National Orchid Garden. Most people just walk past them, without bothering a second look. When you think of gingers, you usually think of the brownish dirt-covered rhizome root. In today’s modern times, not many of us get the chance to see the entire plant itself, least even its flower. We get them neatly arranged, root only, on shelves in the wet market or supermarkets. And that’s what I like about my visits to the Singapore Botanic Gardens. There is always something new to spot, to learn and grow in my understanding of nature.
