    • flower dome

      Posted at 8:00 am by jasminedesirees, on August 14, 2014

      The Gardens by the Bay has two conservatories, the Cloud Forest, and the Flower Dome. The Cloud Forest is the big, splashy main event, but the Flower Dome was pretty cool too.

      It’s divided up into sections, to showcase the flowers and plants that grow in different regions of the world, so you walk around into each section, and find yourself in Australia, or South America, or California, surrounded by those native plants.

      My favourite part was the flower field in the center of the dome, it’s a themed flower display that they switch up every few months.

      When we were there, it was made into a Persian garden, with lots of bright colours, and table displays.

      There is a succulent garden, a large collection of cool, gnarled trees called Boababs, and an olive grove with a 1,000 year old olive tree.

      I was eventually unceremoniously dragged out, apparently watching someone take 600 pictures of roses gets boring after awhile, who knew?

      Today is the longest day of theĀ  year, and the official first day of summer. Even though I live in California, and it doesn’t get that cold here in the winter, there is just something about summer.

      It goes by so fast though, before you know it it’ll be September, so I plan to cram as much fun as possible into every moment of it, and I hope you do the same.

      Here are a few of the things that are making me happy right now:

      I finally bought myself these wedge sneakers I’ve been stalking for the last 3 months. I got a really good deal on them, and I absolutely love them. I get tons of compliments every time I wear them. A lady actually chased me down the street yesterday to find out where I got them, which is kind of ironic since I chased down a lady in the airport to find out where she got hers.

      This recipe for Nanaimo Bar Cupcakes. If you’ve never had a Nanaimo bar, stop what you’re doing and go visit my grandmother and get one, immediately. They are probably my favourite food, and the greatest things to come out of Canada since… well all the other great things that come out of Canada.

      When I saw this recipe online I was so excited I almost burst into patriotic tears of joy. I immediately decided to make a big batch of these for my birthday this month. Just for me though. I don’t know what everyone else is having.

      Also, this pile of gold sequins for a project I am working on.

      And:

      I bought myself flowers, just because.
