Beautiful Trees at East Coast Park Singapore

Well, many did not know beside picnic, swimming, cycling, water sports , etc at east coast park, there are many nice trees and ferns at the park.
This must be a very old tree with so many trunks.

The chinese used these fig leaves during chinese wedding.
A huge bird nest fern in the park. (I normally see bird net fern up in the trees but this is the first time I see it grow on the ground.)

Orchids

I only know them by the name of orchids and I took this photo at Changi Airport Terminal 3.

I wish they would put a name list of the flower beside the flower......But I know they are not our national flower Joaquim. I will take photo of Joaquim the next time I visit Botanica Gardens but the weather is not co operating, been raining dogs and cats the last few days.

Carphalea kirondron or Ixora

This is the common flowers found all over Singapore. Now I am not sure if it is Carphalea Kirondron or Ixora, they looked similar. I leave it to the expert.
