This is the final instalment of the ‘Spring Blossoms’. As with all floral displays at the Flower Dome, the flowers were dazzling, brilliant and beautiful. And there was plenty of information on the flowers on display, and the theme selected for the display. One is sure to pick up plenty of trivia from the displays.
Here are more photos and interesting trivia from the display.
The Chinese pagoda was first erected to house Buddhist relics. Over time, they an important part of Chinese architecture, and are often featured in myths, literature, and paintings.
Chinese pavilions began as humble shelters for travellers and soldiers. Now, they are central elements in gardens, harmonising with natural surroundings to offer not only shelter but also spaces for events.
Originally, lanterns appeared in the Han Dynasty as offerings to the Buddha. Nowadays, lanterns are no longer bound to a single day. Wading off misfortune and welcoming prosperity, they stand year-round in doorways of homes and businesses and watch over weddings and Chinatowns in cities far from their origins.
A moon gate beckons visitors to pass through its perfect circle, revealing the garden in a series of sights.
The Mandarin orange (Citrus reticulata) is a tropical and sub-tropical tree belonging to the family Rutaceae. Associated with good fortune by the Chinese, it features prominently in local Chinese New Year celebrations.
Dazzling, flashy, big Dahlia blooms. Dahlias belong to one of the largest flowering plant families, Asteraceae, or the sunflower family. They are related to chrysanthemums, gerberas, daisies, and marigolds to name a few.
Flower dome is open from 9.00am till 9.00pm. The Spring blossoms display will be on until the 23rd of Feb 2025.
