The Flower Dome is an awe-inspiring attraction of The Gardens the Bay. Covering 1.2 hectares, it is the largest ‘greenhouse’ in the world as listed in the 2015 Guinness Book of World Records.
It is eternal Spring in the Flower Dome where the temperatures are maintained between 23C to 25C. The ‘climate’ in the Flower Dome is suitable for growing a wide variety of plants from semi-arid and arid regions around the globe.
The spectacular display of beautiful flowers and plants sourced from different regions makes for a unique experience.
The Flower dome is an absolute delight for flower photographers. If you are a flora photography enthuasiast, you will definitely be awed by the floras there.
Here are some of the flowers that can be seen in the Flower Dome. Some are seasonal. You see them only at certain time of the year. Some bloom throughout the year. I was able to identify them with the help of Google lens.
