10,000 lilies have bloomed at Gardens by the Bay, transforming the Flower Dome into a fragrant floral haven. Lilytopia is inspired by the city of Venice, Italy – fittingly so, as the lily is Italy’s national flower – and marks the largest lily showcase ever hosted at the Flower Dome. Don’t wait too long to catch these captivating blooms, as the exhibition runs only until mid-June 2025.

While most may be familiar with classic white or yellow lilies, Lilytopia unveils an array of over 50 different varieties. Highlights include double-petal blooms like the striking orange Lilium Caddy and the magenta-pink Lilium Alanno. Some of the featured lilies were even cultivated by the talented in-house horticulturists at Gardens by the Bay.

The visual spectacle goes beyond the flowers. Venetian-themed elements recreate the floating city’s charm, with blue hydrangeas that mimic the water canals and life-sized replicas of Italian shopfronts and homes dotted throughout the space. A traditional gondola and Vespa sit nestled among the blooms, adding a picturesque touch to the exhibition.

The recreated Piazza San Marco, or St. Mark’s Square, is another show-stopper. Other whimsical touches include a quaint limoncello stall, wine barrels, and a corner styled as a nonna’s (grandmother’s) kitchen, featuring a traditional wood-fired oven. 

Lilytopia is running from now till June 15, 2025 at the Flower Dome in Gardens by the Bay. Tickets are priced at $12 for adults and $8 for children. More details can be found via the Gardens by the Bay website.
