Follow the trail of sunflowers at Flower Dome @ Gardens by the Bay
Flower Dome at Gardens by the Bay has just turned into The Land of Oz fairyland. Walk among the 10,000 sunflowers in all shapes and sizes, where you will also find the Wizard’s castle as depicted in the classic children’s novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
Titled “Sunflower Surprise” (恋恋向日葵), the Flower Dome invites you down the yellow brick road where visitors discover different varietals of sunflowers:
- Russian Mammoth -This cultivar is one of the tallest sunflower plants. It produces extremely large, bright yellow sunflowers that can be bigger than a human head.
- Teddy Bear – This cultivar produces orange fully-double flowers that resemble fluffy pompoms.
- Moulin Rouge – This cultivar produces unusual deep-burgundy flowers with a dark brown centre.
- Strawberry Blonde – This cultivar produces bi-coloured pink flowers with yellow tips and a light pink centre.
