Yesterday, when we cycled along West Coast Park Connector, we could not believe our eyes when we saw this humongous Tiger Orchid (Grammatophyllum speciosum) perched on a mature Rain Tree. Its the largest Tiger Orchid weve seen thats planted on a tree. Did you know that this native orchid species used to be nationally extinct in the wild? Hunt for the majestic Tiger along the West Coast Highway (in front of Blk 519 West Coast Road). Who ever said that amazing nature cant be found in urban Singapore? ;) Learn about the Tiger Orchid on Flora & Fauna Web here: bit.ly/1zyiMCC.
