  1. A Black Bat Flower (Tacca chantrieri) spotted in the National Orchid Garden at the Singapore Botanic Gardens on 27 July 2025. It has been many years since I last saw one, so nice to see it again.

    They belong to the yam family, and got the name by being black with bracts that resemble wings.
