ulipmania was returns to
Singapore at Gardens by the Bay from 14 April to 4 May 2014. Inspired by Madurodam, a miniature park &
tourist attraction in Netherlands, Holland – a centerpiece depicts and
windmills set a midst spectacular blooms of tulips and hyacinths. A mini Holland returns to Singapore again.
Missed a chance to visit
Tulipmania last year, and now Gardens by the Bay was proud to announce the
return of Tulipmania this year 2014. Of
cause I wouldn’t to miss the chance again this year to visit it.
A very short about Gardens by the Bay,
a City in a garden, captures the
essence of Singapore as the premier tropical Garden City with the perfect
environment in which to live and work.
Came to Gardens by
the Bay, there’s 6 key attractions can choose to visit,
v Flower Dome
v Cloud Forest
v The Supertrees
v Heritage Gardens
v World of Plants
v Garden Cruiser Audio Tours
I choose to visit the
Flower Dome and the Cloud Forest, and the Tulipmania is inside the Flower Dome.
What
to do in Flower Dome?
Flower Dome, a world of perpetual spring,
where unique flowers / plants bloom in an ever changing display of
flowers. Find out the flowers/plants
from the Mediterranean and semi-arid subtropical regions.
What
to do in Cloud Forest?
Cloud Forest, the real Jungle into a kingdom
high in the mountains where can learn about rare plants and their
fast-disappearing environment. Amazing
mountain views surrounded by diverse vegetation and hidden floral gems that
disappear into the clouds.

After bought the tickets, my first visit is to the Cloud Forest. *excited*

| The Map of the Forest |
When
entry the park, I see a 35-metre tall mountain covered in lush vegetation
shrouding the world's tallest indoor waterfall showcases plant life
from tropical highlands up to 2,000 m above sea level.
This is totally refreshing myself in the spray of the waterfall just as the plants in our Cloud Forest do!

Climb to the mountaintop in comfort by lift to 7 floors, the mountain has densely planted with a mixture of fascinating orchids, delicate ferns, and colorful bromeliads, dazzling begonias and menacing carnivorous pitcher plants.

| The Tulip Craze and the Hyacinth |
About
the Tulip Craze,
Tulips are the 3rd most
popular flowers in the world, after Roses and Chrysanthemums. While it’s often associated with the
Netherlands, they’re believed to have originated from Central Asia and brought
to Turkey by nomadic tribes. The name of
“Tulip” was derived from the shape of the flower that resembled the turban
(dulbend or tÜlband) of the Sultan of the Ottoman
Empire, now knows as Turkey. This was
called “Tulipan” in Europe, which then led to the English name “Tulip”. As “the most coveted flower in the world”,
the demand for tulips in the 1600s began “Tulip Mania” in the Netherlands. As the height of the tulip craze, the most expensive
tulip, the Semper Augustus, rose to f10,000 (Dutch Guilder), equivalent to the
cost of a grand house along the canal in Amsterdam or enough to feed a Dutch
family for half a lifetime. (Information
from the “Tulipmania Brochure”)

| Tulips bloom yet ^^ |

If you're like me, love the nature environment and also very loving plants and flowers, you would certainly like to come here to visit, it is really worth a look.
Although "Tulipmania" is over, but now Gardens by the Bay proudly to announce the Singapore Garden Festival has comes home from 16 to 24 August 2014 with the grandest gardens and finest floral displays and also featuring award-wining gardening luminaries from around the world. So, is a must-see event on the international horticultural calendar.
