Tulipmania is back, which means Gardens by the Bay has been flooded by tulips of all shapes and forms. Picture this: 35,000 blooms in 60 varieties spread out across the air-conditioned dome, in bright shades of orange, pink, yellow and more. It’s the perfect flower field for all your photo backdrops. Alternatively, you could always re-enact one of those cheesy ’90s running-through-the-meadows music videos — except here you’ll probably end up darting in and out of the crowds along the side of the field. Close enough.
A total of 110,000 tulips will be arriving in Singapore for the festival throughout its duration. One of the highlights includes the Lily Tulip cultivars — slender flowers featuring long, pointed petals — brought in for the first time by the Gardens. Also look out for Triumph Tulips, the most common type; Fringed Tulips, which have a frayed edge on their petals; and Parrot Tulips, which resemble the feathers of the birds.
On the activities end, complimentary guided tours will be offered for visitors to discover facts and anecdotes about the display, as well as craft workshops to create teddy bears with tulip prints.
Tulipmania is on from now till May 22, 9am-9pm at the Flower Dome, Gardens by the Bay, 18 Marina Gardens Dr. Admission charges apply.
