If you're anything like myself and the millions of other people who will travel for flowers, you'll definitely want to add Singapore to your floral vacay bucket list. Especially since you'll already be in Asia checking out Japan's whimsical cherry blossoms and wisteria—why not kill two birds with one (elegant, moss-covered) stone?

But really! The latest attraction at Singapore's Gardens by the Bay is quite literally a Floral Fantasy. Through the attraction, flowers, artistry, and technology create a "dream-like, fantastical experience" showcased across four different garden landscapes: Dance, Float, Waltz, and Drift.

Visitors can Dance through the first garden featuring a collection of more than 15,000 flowering plants dangling from the ceiling and walls, creating "an upside-down rainbow tapestry." Floating through the second garden, they'll follow a relaxing stream surrounded by more than 2,500 flowering plants and floral chandeliers made of orchids and tillandsias.

The third garden will let guests Waltz among a rainforest featuring calming water displays, orchids and other flowers, and...frogs. Finally, Drift through a semi-enclosed cave with terraced rock formations, vines, and shady plants.

Take a closer look at the experience:

Naturally, there's more...step inside the theater and you can embark on a journey through the eyes of a dragonfly flying through the Gardens by the Bay. Now through May 13, adults will pay $17 for admission, while children pay $10. But if you go after that, expect to pay a few dollars more since the opening month promotion will be over. Don't worry though, even then the costs will be an affordable $20 and $12.

Checking out the map it's clear I could spend an entire week here...Definitely requesting vacation days for this ASAP. But, in the meantime, don't mind me while I hang my own rainbow tapestry of flowers like this Mandarin Honeysuckle Vine.
