🔎#WhatsBlooming - Known as the 'flamingo lily' for its pink or red leaf-like spathe and long yellow spadix holding hundreds of teensy-tiny florets, Anthurium andreanum hybrids can do double duty as outdoor bedding plants and indoor houseplants! But what are those little bumps on some of the spadices? They are actually developing fruits --tiny, inedible, miniature berries. Find them in the shady border beds of the Supertree Grove.

#WhatsBlooming - Did you know that annatto, an extract from the seeds of the lipstick tree (Bixa orellana), is used as a colouring agent for foods, fibres, and even cosmetics? You’re likely to even have taken butter, margarine, or cheese coloured with annatto! Its usage can be traced back to the ancient Mayan and Aztec civilizations! Find this eye-catching shrub along the Garden’s lake perimeter along Marina Gardens Drive.
