The Orchid Show in Singapore
Singapore, of course, is renowned for its vibrant orchid gardens; therefore, a dedicated show to appreciate this nationally adored flower is necessary. The orchid show is a highlight of the city’s horticultural calendar, which showcases a breathtaking display of orchids from everywhere around the world.

Visitors are welcome to enjoy the show, learn more about the porcine and just bask in the whole atmosphere.
The RHS Chelsea Flower Show: A British Institution
While england is one of the wildest countries in the world, they do have a passion for gardening, which helps that we have a happy climate for them to thrive. The RHS flower show is held annually, usually in the month of may. This prestigious event showcases the latest garden trends, including designs, plant breeding and dazzling displays that people who have a love for nature can relish and share today. The show goes beyond flowers and shows shrubs, tress and so much more, which welcomes people from all walks of life.
Be sure to prebook your Hyde Park parking beforehand to add some extra convenience.
The Keukenhof: A Dutch Dream of Tulips
As mentioned before, the Netherlands is home to vibrant tulips and so much more. The Keukenhof is a large park that is covered head to toe with tulips, huacinths and daffodils, which transports you into a scene from Alice in Wonderland that is both magical and enchanting. Visitors can stroll through this park with each and admire the flower displays for as long as you wish. This would be the perfect solo travel activity to do but also extremely romantic with a partner.
The Festival of Flowers: A Colourful Carnival in Thialand
The festival of flowers is again held annually in Chiang Mai and is a stunning celebration of the country’s unique and rich floral heritage. The whole city is completely transformed into a floral dream; every corner is dressed for the occasion so you will come across streets that are lit up with floral displays and sculptures that will leave you in awe. The locals call this a floral festival for a reason; you will be surrounded by music, traditional dances and delicious local cuisine.
The Rose Parade: A floral Extravagance in Pasadena
Another excuse other than to be in the city of The Big Bang Theory and the Bee Movie references. The Rose Parade is held on New Years Day in Pasadena, California and is a well-celebrated tradition in America, so you can join feeling like one surrounded by lovely locals, like-minded tourists and delicious food. This iconic parade coems with a marching band and equestrian units and if that wasn’t enough, each float has it’s own theme.
Conclusion
When it comes to attending flower shows around the world, we couldn’t recommend anything more. It’s a wholesome experience seeing different cultures come together and celebrate the natural beauties of all of the world. As each flower may represent something different in each culture, it’s not only educational to find out which certain flowers are celebrated above others but also on how to take care of them while getting to appreciate the effort, hard work and dedication people have put into these shows.
These festivals and celebrations bring the community closer together and spark an appreciation of the world around others and who knows it could inspire you further to adopt some different flowers into your garden or home, as a constant reminder and symbol of your times travelling around the world and appreciating the natural wonders with a bunch of strangers and many flowers.
