Floral Fantasy boasts four distinct gardens – Dance, Float, Waltz, and Drift – each a testament to cutting-edge flower craftsmanship in an indoor, air-conditioned haven. From inverted hanging gardens to driftwood structures and concealed grottoes, these gardens promise a striking and lasting impact. The allure lies in their unique character: Dance dazzles with suspended blooms, Float showcases bubbling brooks, Drift features stunning South American orchids, and Waltz unveils lush rainforests.
Dance, the initial among Floral Fantasy’s four unique landscapes, unveils a mesmerizing canopy of vibrant-hued flowers. Suspended from the ceiling, these flowering plants establish an enchanting atmosphere in this floating garden. Their graceful, almost dance-like movements give the impression of flowers waltzing in mid-air. In this captivating segment, over 15,000 fresh flowers take center stage, with the color palette undergoing frequent transformations.
Float transports you to a realm where a gentle stream bubbles forth and delicate fuchsias dangle from above. The soothing ambiance by the water's edge, framed by an assortment of temperate trees and shrubs, offers a serene escape for the mind and soul. The display of trees, ranging from twisted to weeping forms, as well as the diminutive varieties, promises to captivate you with their remarkable diversity. Keep an eye out for Nobu, the garden's guardian, who subtly oversees his domain. Among the blossoms, nine fairies under his watchful gaze are a delightful find for those who look closely enough.
Waltz, designed as an artisan garden with a rainforest motif, invites you to wander amidst cascading sheets of water and the gentle touch of natural light. This experience is sure to elicit a sense of delight, as you find yourself immersed in what feels like a genuine wonderland composed of rocks, driftwood, vines, and orchids. While exploring, you'll come across a vivarium that houses poison dart frogs, enhancing the allure of this enchanting landscape with their vivid and striking hues. These frogs add an additional layer of fascination to the already captivating scenery.
Drift, the ultimate garden landscape within Floral Fantasy, showcases a cave-inspired setting encompassed by terraced rock formations. Upon entering this cave, where a gentle mist envelops you, you'll be met with a captivating sight: an artistic arrangement of more than 50 species of captivating plants sourced from Central and South America. This extraordinary display, which includes begonias, huperzias, orchids, mosses, and ferns, is bathed in the gentle radiance emitted by glowworms.
