Dahlia Dreams Floral Display @ Flower Dome : Year of the Monkey

Chinese New Year is just around the corner. That means there is a new Floral display at Flower Dome. This year the theme is Dahlia Dreams Floral Display, where the Dahlias from Mexico will co-mingle with Chinese tradition to bring you a new Chinese New Year flavour at the Flower Dome.

Stepping into the Flower Dome, you will be greeted by a display of Dahlia and monkeys as a backdrop. Be warned, we were there on a bright sunny day, and it was freezing cold!

Step close, and as your eyes wanders on the flower bed, you realise a distinct lack of red in the gardens. Instead, the central flower bed is transformed into a valley of green that is the homeland of Monkeys. Entirely appropriate, given that we are in the year of the Monkey.

Here are 6 highlights of Dahlia Dreams Floral Display @ Flower Dome

Dahlia
