Sakura Floral Display

There is a Sakura floral display in the Flower Dome at the Gardens by the Bay. The display is on until the 9th of April. The theme this year is 'Train Travel.' The Flower Field where the display is held, is "transformed into a landscape evocative of a scenic train journey across the most beautiful spots of Japan."

While the Japanese called this flower the Sakura, you likely know this Prunus plant as the Cherry blossom. Cherry blossom season takes place at the beginning of the Japanese Calendar year. It signals the coming of Spring and symbolises a time of renewal, bringing hope and new dreams for the year ahead. Most cherry blossom varieties bloom in spring, and only last for about one to two weeks.

Some photos of Cherry blossoms from my visit last week.

The centrepiece inside the Dome just after the entrance. Not very impressive I think. The four Sakura plants looked like they had died. It crossed my mind, later on, that maybe they hadn't bloom.

More on the Sakura floral display tomorrow.
