French Faire Flower Display

The last time I was at Gardens by the Bay in Singapore, I saw the Cloud Forest and walked through the OCBC Skyway but the Flower Dome was temporarily closed for maintenance, unfortunately. So I made sure that I would get to visit it this summer. I was originally hoping to see "Tulipmania" where, obviously, thousands of tulips would take on the spot light. But the Tulipmania only lasted for a week and the gardens were transformed in to a French Faire flower display. French Faire is a part of the European leg of the “Gardens by the Bay Goes around the World” series of floral displays for 2014. I may have missed Tulipmania but at least I saw the Eiffel Tower.. in Singapore! I love being surrounded with flowers so I ain't complaining. My grandmother used to grow pink roses in our garden when I was younger. I paint and flowers are my favourite subject. I just love how they are so unique from each other, the way their petals twirl, how the colors blend, and its shades. The only things I was missing while in the flower dome? Paints, brushes and a canvas!
 
The whole garden lights up at night including the miniature Eiffel Tower.

Oh yes, two life-sized cafes were also displayed to add on the Parisian vibe.

More photo ops for me!

These itsy bitsy blooms are one of my absolute favorites!
 
The Singapore Flyer and a portion of the city skyline made a cool backdrop.

If you want to see more photos from this trip, follow me on Instagram @thestylefondue. I will be in Singapore for a couple more weeks and I'm really hoping to meet fellow bloggers from around the country! Hey, Singapore's not that big so don't be a stranger.
