Tulipmania at Gardens by the Bay was a freaking disappointment. There wasn’t anything much about them that inspired me. I was more excited when I saw fields of tulips in the Netherlands many years back. In fact this brings me back to the point that Gardens by the Bay has been a consistent disappointment to me. I’m not certain if my disappointment with the attraction draws from the comparison of the many gardens and glasshouses I’ve visited around the world. It’s not the size of the space that matters, rather it’s more of the variety it offers. The Flower Dome contains more non-flowering plants. I wished it houses a collection of local and regional flowers and plants. Yes, I see the hibiscuses, but… Surely there’s more than that in Asia!
I found consolation in the roses there. But I was wishing to see more orchids… Maybe I should head to the National Orchid Garden instead. 😐
