Singapore's Changi Airport has yet again upped the ante on travel experience with the world's largest sunflower display at an airport. Titled 'A Sunflower Sojourn', the flower exhibits display 5,000 sunflowers spread across Changi Airport's four terminals, Hub & Spoke, and the Airport Boulevard.
An interplay of art, creativity, and color, the floral fiesta includes over 10 resplendent sunflower varieties across hues like unique red, pastel pink – Strawberry Blonde, mellow yellow – Florenza, and classic yellow – Sunrise.
On display till 30 September 2024, 'A Sunflower Sojourn' by Changi Airport will display storybook-esque sunflower topiaries and rare plant species while also offering specially curated sunflower merchandise and menus. A sunflower topiary featuring a colossal 8m sunflower sculpture surrounded by 1,000 yellow blooms is on display at Terminal 3. Another structure stationed at Terminal 2 boasts a 5m rotating sunflower topiary.
What's most impressive, however, is that like most plants at the airport, all the sunflowers were grown in Changi's very own plant nursery. Because the flower typically lasts only about a week after blooming, Changi Airport's horticultural team had to nurture more than 14,000 sunflowers over the course of three months to ensure there were enough blooms for the special display.
