Poinsettia Wishes ‘A Nordic Christmas Adventure’ At Gardens by the Bay

Image Credit: GardensByTheBay.com.sg

Gardens by the Bay has a unique Christmas display called Poinsettia Wishes – A Nordic Christmas Adventure. It’s like a journey to a Viking-inspired winter world! Cute Vikings, called Nordic Nisses, dressed in Viking clothes, welcome visitors. The display resembles cozy fishing villages from Nordic countries, with cute cabins and Christmas trees. You’ll see more than 20 types of poinsettias, some with yellow or plum-colored leaves and others shaped like mouse ears.

Poinsettia is the rockstar of Christmas symbols! Hailing from Mexico, it goes by the name Flor de Nochebuena, which translates to the Christmas Eve flower in Spanish. Picture this: vibrant ‘petals’, which are technically bracts (fancy, right?), come in fiery red, snowy white, creamy hues, playful pinks, soft greens, or even sport a cool marble look. These stunning bracts create a festive crown around a tiny, cheerful yellow flower cluster. It’s a magical holiday experience!
