For its fifth edition of Tulipmania, the Flower Dome at Gardens by the Bay has turned into a floral art gallery.
It features two displays inspired by the works of Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh. The painting, The Starry Night, and a van Gogh self-portrait have been recreated using tulips and hyacinths.
The entire flower show features more than 30,000 blooms, including the Darwin hybrid tulips that are hard to miss with their huge cup-shaped blooms.
There will be free guided tours where visitors can learn trivia about tulips, van Gogh and his paintings.
