Carnival of Flowers @ Flower Dome 23 Sep - 17 Nov 2024.

Step into a vibrant celebration of spring at Gardens by the Bay’s first-ever Australian-themed floral display, Carnival of Flowers! Inspired by the Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers, the longest-running floral show in Australia, this dazzling showcase held in collaboration with the Toowoomba Regional Council features colourful blooms including native Australian plants like kangaroo paw, grevillea, waratah, manuka, and banksia. Adding to the charm are delightful depictions of beloved Australian wildlife, from endearing koalas to bounding kangaroos to cheerful kookaburras. At the heart of this visual feast are spectacular floral floats crafted from preserved flowers, such as a towering Ferris wheel more than 4m in height and a captivating carousel with adorable Australian farm animals. Larger-than-life paper sculptures of native Australian flowers by local artist PeiPer add a touch of artistry to this floral fiesta. Elements of Australia’s Indigenous culture will also be conveyed through art specially created by Toowoomba artists for the floral display.

Gardens by the Bahay Kubo: A Fiesta of Orchids @ Orchid Haven, Cloud Forest 16 Sep 2024 - Jan 2025

Join in a celebration of beauty and bayanihan – the Filipino word for the spirit of community and giving help without expecting any in return – at Cloud Forest’s newest orchid display. Gardens by the Bahay Kubo: A Fiesta of Orchids pays tribute to the stunning orchids and heartwarming culture of the Philippines. After all, the orchids found in the Philippines are among the most beautiful in the world, and the country also has one of the highest levels of endemic orchid species. The Bahay Kubo is a traditional indigenous stilt house, an icon of Philippine culture, that is a metaphor for the strong community ties that the country is so known for. When a family wants to relocate, all the men in the neighbourhood will gather to help move their Bahay Kubo! In the display, a Bahay Kubo sits amidst more than 40 taxa of orchids, including those of the Vanda, Dendrobium and Phalaenopsis genera that best represent the beauty of Philippine orchids. Make sure you come by within the first few weeks of opening day to catch the limited blooming of the waling waling or Vanda sanderiana, affectionately called the Queen of Philippine Orchids by admirers. Throughout the display, there will be an abundance of other stunning blooms such as the Phalaenopsis schilleriana, an orchid endemic to the Philippines and an ancestor of many of the pink moth orchid hybrids we see today.
