Our Parenting World, Gor Gor and Di Di were at Gardens by the Bay to visit the new floral display at Flower Dome which showcases one of the world’s most popular blooms, roses!

Let Gor Gor and Di Di shown you around the magnificent floral display named “War of the Roses” which draws inspiration from an event of the same name that took place in 15th century England.

A background on the historical “War of the Roses” was a series of civil wars between the House of Lancaster and the House of York that were vying for the throne of England. Its name drew reference to the emblems associated with the two Houses – the Red Rose of Lancaster and the White Rose of York.

Di Di was so fascinated with these unusual looking group of plants! 

At Sun Pavilion, visitors will be able to spot the amazing Mexican columnar cacti, which bring to mind the desert landscapes reminiscent of those in olden-day cowboy films, and the large succulent Euphorbias, which while less spiny, are interesting as they produce latex to protect themselves against hungry predators.

The Sun Pavilion also houses smaller succulents with eye-catching details such as the Brazilian species of Turk’s Cap, and the Brain Cactus

The Sun Pavilion opens to the public from 25 February 2014 and admission is free.
