植物天地
新加坡有一个很特别的植物花园。它的名字是植物园。
植物园的主要吸引人的地方是国家胡姬花园。它坐落在整个花园的中西部。它有 1000 多个品种和 2000种杂交的植物 !最早的植物种子是在1877 年从一个叫邱于的地方来的。国家胡姬花园是由广东淮山大厅、 Orchidarium 谭勋祥 Misthouse 和夫人彭元朗 McNeice 凤梨房子组成。广东淮山大厅是一个让你看那些植物和鲜花的地方 Orchidarium 是把植物放在一个热带的环境的屋子 ;谭勋祥 Misthouse 有花的香味 ;夫人婉彭 McNeice 凤梨房子放着凤梨家庭的植物,其中包括菠萝。花园里也有一些雨林区。
新加坡的植物园是一个很好的旅游胜地!



A Land of Plants
Singapore has a really extraordinary plant garden. It is called the Botanic Gardens.
The main attraction of the Botanic Gardens is the National Orchid Garden. It is located at the mid-western side of the gardens. It has more than 1000 species and 2000 hybrids of plants! The seeds of the first plants came from a place called Kew in 1877. The orchid consists of Burkill Hall, Orchidarium, Tan Hoon Siang Misthouse, and Lady Yuen-Peng McNeice Bromeliad House. The Burkill Hall is a museum that shows you most of the flowers and where the name is from; the Orchidarium are buildings that they put plants in a tropical setting; the Tan Hoon Siang Misthouse has the fragrant of the hybrids; the Lady Yuen-Peng McNeice Bromeliad House is where the people keep the plants of the Bromeliaceae family, which includes pineapples. The garden also has some rainforests.
The Botanic Gardens are an amazing sight to see!
