Cherry blossoms are in full bloom in Singapore.

About half of the cherry blossom trees at the exhibition have already begun to bloom. The blossoms will continue to bloom for the next one to two weeks. This is the first time visitors to the Flower Dome at Gardens by the Bay have been able to admire such a wide variety of cherry blossoms in full bloom.

Many varieties of vibrant cherry blossoms are displayed in the style of a Japanese garden.

Over 20 varieties of cherry blossoms, commonly known as sakura, are being introduced to the public at the exhibition. Visitors can admire many different cherry blossom varieties such as Fujishidare with its characteristic drooping branches, Yedoenis Yoshino with its striking white blossoms, or Accolade with its distinctive pale pink color.

Besides the Japanese cherry trees in full bloom, other cherry varieties are also showcasing their beauty here. In addition, visitors can also spot Genpei Shidare cherry blossoms with both red and white flowers on the same tree.

Drawing inspiration from traditional Japanese gardens, the "Blossom Beats" exhibition will introduce viewers to distinctive Japanese cultural elements such as torii gates and kimonos.

Felix Loh, CEO of Gardens by the Bay, said: “Gardens by the Bay was built to be a favorite destination for visitors – a place where people can enjoy rare flowers that are rarely found in Singapore. With that in mind, this year we decided to host an exhibition featuring a variety of different cherry blossoms.”

He added: “Along with the Japanese-style decorated gardens, we hope that the ‘Blossom Beats’ exhibition will provide visitors with memorable and unique experiences.”

Because the natural peach blossom season doesn't last long, the program will last for one to two weeks. The trial exhibition is scheduled to end on March 27th.

In addition to the cherry blossom exhibition, throughout 2016, the Flower Dome at Gardens by the Bay will continuously change its theme, showcasing and introducing many different types of flowers. Coming soon, from April 8th to May 22nd, the tulip exhibition called Tulipmania will once again return to Gardens by the Bay.

The vibrant tulips, cultivated since the time of the mighty Ottoman Empire – now Turkey – have long been a source of inspiration for poetry and painting. Visitors will be overwhelmed by the dazzling carpets of colorful tulips featured in this Persian-style exhibition.

Tulipmania is the third flower and music show to take place at Gardens by the Bay in 2016. Join us on a musical adventure around the world, embracing the harmony of nature with the vibrant sounds of Taiko drums, blended with nostalgic sounds from jukeboxes, and combined with the energetic dances of various tribes.

But that's not all; the floral and musical exhibitions at Flower Dome will continue to be updated and presented to the public, including:

The lily exhibition, titled “Lilytopia Retro Revival,” took place from June 3rd to July 10th, 2016.

+ The orchid exhibition celebrating Singapore's National Day, called Songbird Serenade, took place from July 22nd to August 28th, 2016.
