Succulents in the Dome

The Flower Dome is one of two cooled conservatories (or glasshouses) within the complex of Gardens by the Bay and it houses a collection of plants from temperate regions of the world.

The Flower Dome itself is colossal, actually both of them are and I will have to feature them in segments as well as a general overview of each of them.
