The coolest thing I saw this week was inside the Flower Dome at Gardens by the Bay. It is a giant glass greenhouse, but it works backwards! Most greenhouses keep plants warm, but since Singapore is already hot and sticky, this one stays cool and dry. It is like a giant refrigerator for plants!Because it is cool inside, plants from all over the world can grow here, even plants from dry deserts and high mountains. My favorite was a fuzzy cactus called the "Old Man of the Andes." It is covered in soft white hair that protects it from the hot sun and chilly nights in the mountains!
Another cool nature fact is that Singapore has tons of beautiful green parks and big trees everywhere, making it look like a giant city inside a garden!
