"Spring Blossoms"

‘Spring Blossoms’ is the first floral display in the Flower Dome in 2026. I went to the display earlier this week and was very impressed by it. There were “more than 10,000 plants, and 46 dahlia varieties grown in-house” on display. They are joined by time-honoured Lunar New Year favourites like peonies, and chrysanthemums. Some of the blooms were huge, gigantic – as big as a dinner plate. I have never seen such jumbo flowers!

As with all previous displays, this ‘Spring Blossoms’ has plenty of information on the flowers, as well as the customs and cultures associated with the display. Visitors get to enjoy the lovely blooms, know the origin of the flowers, and learn about the customs and cultures of the theme of the display.

This floral display is a collaboration with leading China landscape company Shanghai Gardens Group. So, there is information on garden designs in China, specifically, Jiangnan in China, as well as information on some Lunar New Year customs. It is all very interesting.

This centerpiece just inside of the entrance is a model of a structure in Jiangnan gardens in China.

“The surrounding landscape draws inspiration from the aesthetics of Jiangnan Gardens, celebrated for their tranquil harmony with nature and regarded as masterpieces of garden design.”

The colourful flowers are sure to take one’s breath away.

‘Spring Blossoms’ is now on until the 1st of March. Admission fees apply. Adults pay $12 SGD, Seniors and children below 12 years old pay $8 SGD.
