Spring Blossoms

Legend of Lady White Snake

This Chinese New Year, Gardens by the Bay ushers in the Year of the Snake with Spring Blossoms, a floral display inspired by Legend of the White Snake – one of China’s four great folklores, which tells the story of the union between a mortal man, Xu Xian, and a female snake spirit, Bai Suzhen, also known as Madam White Snake.

Set in the Gardens’ Flower Dome and taking centre stage amidst a vibrant landscape of festive blooms is a breathtaking 4.5m-tall floral rendition of the protagonist, Madam White Snake, meticulously crafted through mosaiculture. This intricate horticultural art form uses a variety of plants to create visually stunning, three-dimensional living sculptures, and is presented in collaboration with leading China landscaping company Beijing Florascape.

The floral display also features over 1,000 dahlias, with five new varieties this year. Symbolising prosperity and new beginnings, dahlias are a perennial favourite during Chinese New Year and a signature of Gardens by the Bay’s festive floral displays during this period.
