 The Amazing Talipot Palm. This Majestic Beauty towers some 20 metres in the air. The palm is about 50 years old and will bear the largest influorescence in the world for about one year. 
This palm flowers only once in its lifetime, producing the biggest inflorescence in the flowering kingdom. The palm grows for 30 to 80 years, storing up energy and strength in its trunk to send out this massive inflorescence. After flowering and fruiting the plant will die.

Walking through the gardens,  paths wind throughout, creating pockets of flowering rooms, to excite the senses 

Vanda orchids, just reset in their coconut baskets

Contrasting colours of the cordyline and senseveria brighten this corner.
