Flower Dome - Mid Autumn Among The Lantern Flowers ~ Merlion Wayfarer Goes Green

South, Singapore

September 2013

The new Mid-Autumn themed floral display in the Flower Dome features three striking dragonfly lanterns perched amidst a field of vibrant flora such as "lantern flowers" like Begonias and autumn-blooms like Chrysanthemums, Astilbes and Celosias, while Chinese lanterns add to the festive ambience and traditional paper cut-outs illustrate the myths and legends behind this festival.

Huat ah!

Little Mid-Autumn Festival icons...

Lantern trivia - How many did you spot?

A butterfly among the blooms...

Lanterns and brocades overhead...

Mooncakes on sale...

Drums herald the arrival of the autumn harvest..

Where birds prepare their nests for the incoming winter chill...

The fair maiden, Chang'E smiles benevolently down at Earth from her home on the moon...

Autumn flowers in full bloom...

Dragonflies nestle among the flowers...
