Tulipmania, the annual Tulip floral display is back at the Gardens by the Bay till 22 May 2016. Over 35,000 tulips have been laid out in colourful carpets of intricate patterns in the Flower Dome. Some 110,000 tulips in 60 varieties will be brought in for the festival.
The Lily Tulip cultivars are brought in for the first time by the Gardens. The Lily Tulip’s slender form, with long pointed petals, is reminiscent of the historical tulip species that once grew in Central Asia and adorned traditional crockery, tiles and fabrics as a decorative motif.
In conjunction with Tulipmania, you can enjoy complimentary guided tours to find out more fascinating facts and anecdotes about the tulip display, sign up for a craft workshop to create your own teddy bear with tulip prints and participate in a host of themed activities organised by Gardens by the Bay and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.
