Greeted at the entrance by a 35 metre-tall mountain covered with lush foliage and the world's tallest indoor waterfall, the Cloud Forest Dome is a breathtaking sight. This cool, moist conservatory showcases tropical plants which thrive up to 2,000 metres above sea level. Epiphytic* plants densely pack the mountain. Orchids, ferns, bromeliads, begonias, pitcher plants growing on these vertical walls invite visitors into a lost world seldom seen by city dwellers.
* Epiphyte- A plant, such as a tropical orchid or a staghorn fern, that grows on
another plant upon which it depends for mechanical support but not for
nutrients. Also called aerophyte, air plant.

Thanks for the photos. It is better to visit the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest at say, 1pm when it is bright and sunny. Then you can view the plants and trees much better... : )
