Immerse yourself in a vibrant sea of 6,000+ orchids at Flower Dome. The centrepiece of the floral display is three Supertrees, interpreted as orchid-clad structures just for Flower Dome. Visitors can step into the core of the tallest Supertree at 6.5 metres and be ensconced in a kaleidoscope of orchids blooming within.
In a tribute to the orchid’s enduring presence in Singapore’s history, on show are Singapore’s national flower, the Papilionanthe Miss Joaquim (Vanda Miss Joaquim), as well as unique hybrids named after local places and institutions. For example, Choa Chu Kang has its own orchid, the Papilionanda Chua Chu Kang. Other examples include Dendrobium Incredible NUHS Nurses and Vanda KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital.
The floral display also showcases Peranakan culture, with floral recreations of traditional interiors inspired by the Peranakan household in the stalwart Singaporean play Emily of Emerald Hill by Ms Stella Kon.
Cultural Medallion recipient Mr Lee Hock Moh’s acclaimed gongbi-style orchid paintings are another highlight, with prints of his artworks presented alongside dioramas of the same works recreated by horticulturists. In commemoration of SG60, Mr Lee has painted a new piece, Dancing Petals, Joyful Laughter (飞跃花丛送欢声), in which six parrots represent six decades of unity, shared progress, and success of the country. It has been purchased by private donor Mr Tan Aik Hock, with proceeds going to the Gift of Gardens community outreach initiative, which grants complimentary entry to Flower Dome and Cloud Forest for beneficiaries.
In addition, visitors can appreciate gold-plated orchid pieces from RISIS, authentic and intricate Peranakan attire such as kebayas and beaded slippers contributed by designer Raymond Wong from Rumah Kim Choo, as well as traditional furniture and other cultural artefacts from the collection of the Peranakan Museum, on loan from the National Heritage Board.
Orchid Extravaganza is supported by Bloomberg and will run until Aug 31.
As part of SG60 celebrations, there is complimentary entry to the Peranakan Museum for Flower Dome ticket holders for a limited time, as well as a social media contest where the prize is a gold orchid brooch from RISIS.
