Chinese Lunar New Year blooms with Dahlia Dreams

Chinese Lunar New Year blooms at Flower Dome, Gardens by the Bay.
From now till 20th Feb, “Dahlia Dreams” aim to dazzle.

We are dressed in our sporty outfit, hope we will continue to keep Fit and Healthy in 2017 🙂

Besides Dahlia (大丽花), you will see bright sunflowers too. We could not resist taking more family photos with the bright colorful backdrop.


Year of the Zodiac Chicken, with so many chicks roaming around the Flower Dome, and Boon Kang is a Chicken too 🙂

The pond with its reflections, and the delightful rows of Sunflowers.
