Singapore’s Gardens by the Bay brings back its popular annual Tulipmania display today, with a focus on Central Asia where the very first appearance of wild tulips was said to have emerged.
While appreciating this year’s display, Tulipmania – Its Wild Origins, visitors can imagine themselves following in the footsteps of Kazakh nomadic tribes, who once traipsed across the foothills of Tien Shan, the great mountain system of Central Asia. The vibrant displays take in a depiction of a bazaar that represents Kazakhstan’s role as a trading hub and cultural melting-pot along the Silk Route, as well as towers and gates inspired by Timurid dynasty architecture.
Tulipmania – Its Wild Origins also features an online component where videos of the floral display will be posted on Gardens by the Bay’s Facebook and website progressively from October 7.
