Hello everyone and welcome to our humble blog. Do join us on our journey as we try to feature selected fauna and flora that can be found in Singapore.
As you will see, I am primarily interested in plants and hence, I will be mainly sharing about certain plants that I observe during my field work and discovery trips to various parts of Singapore. These plants are easy to miss as they can be quite small and hard to spot in a homogenous patch of green vegetation. Hence, I hope that these pictures will interest you to take a closer look at your environment the next time you visit a park or take a nature walk. Who knows what interesting plants you might see if you pay a little more attention? ;)

The pictures above are just a small collection of wild flowers in Singapore, all patiently taught by my mentor as I am still very new to plants and plant IDs. You might be familiar with Sphagneticola trilobata (Creeping Daisy) as it is commonly planted as an ornamental plant for decorative purposes in parks and along the roadside.
That's all from me for now. If you are interested to find out more about plants, do visit the following links. :)
