Thanks to Gardens by the Bay, Singaporeans are able to witness tulips blooming across the flower field at The Flower Dome. It has been a yearly affair for me to visit their annual Tulipmania in the months of April and May to catch a glimpse of these beautiful blooms. But during each visit, I constantly found myself taking photos of the tulips without truly appreciating this spring-blooming flowers. There were signages planted throughout the flower field with a general description of the flower and scientific name printed on it. However, these descriptions did not really stuck with me or help me understand more about the plant. And I find that…

We’ve finally come to the end of 2017. Time whizzes past us so quickly that sometimes we often forget to take a breather and reflect at each important stage in our lives. I guess December is always a good time to unwind and take a long deserved break from work. It is also the time to set goals and timelines for 2018. Other than hoping for a healthier body or a fulfilling career, we should also be asking ourselves if we know ourselves better each year. It is interesting to discover that though personality changes over time, certain characteristics in you remains the same as you grow. Last month, I…

Gardens By The Bay : Blue Beauties
Hi, Glitzies! Recently, I’ve just visited Gardens By The Bay to view one of their most beautiful floral display called Blue Beauties at the Flower Dome. True spectrum blue is one of the most uncommon colours in plant and thus it is definitely a rare sight to see all the different shades of brilliant blue flowers clustered all together. You would find flowers that are cherished for their vivid blue hues like agapanthus, hydrangeas and delphiniums flourish in a French-inspired garden. Set amidst a specially-designed landscape dotted with a wall trellis, topiaries, a fountain and gazebo, these blue blooms will be complemented by the purple and pink tones of gladiolus,…

The month of May is an exciting month for me as it’s a month of celebrations. Birthdays, anniversaries and it’s also the start of summer where sunlight paints the flower fields gold. Even in Singapore, we have our very own version of ‘flower fields’ right here at the Flower Dome. This year’s Tulipmania at Gardens By The Bay is a yearly affair not to be missed. I dare say that it is one of the best floral displays at the Flower Dome since my first visit to the flower dome. More than 100 varieties of tulips and hyacinths, including Darwin hybrid tulips which are often appreciated for their large blooms,…
