Steel in Bloom's Signature Plants

Steel in Bloom explores human interaction with nature. In addition to a koi pond, the garden features a 6m tall centrepiece adorned with intricate botanical motifs modelled in steel.

This metallic structure is juxtaposed with the ethereal blooming flora that inspired its design. Complemented by bright, multi-coloured lights, this display is perfect for photographs and selfies.

Giant Bromeliad

Giant Bromeliad

Scientific name: Alcantarea spp.

Alcantarea spp. is one of the largest bromeliads in the world. Their leaves can grow up to 2 metres long and have a silver-green colouration that makes them look like steel under certain lighting. This colouration is due to trichomes on the leaves, which are fine hairs that take in moisture from the air. Alcantarea spp. flowers only once in their lifetime, so it is a rare treat to see their flowers up close!

Scarlet Star

Scarlet Star

Scientific name: Guzmania lingulata

The flowers of the Guzmania lingulata are white, and sits within colourful red, orange or yellow bracts, which are modified leaves. It is commonly known as ‘Scarlet Star’ because it looks like a star when viewed from above. As a bromeliad, Guzmania lingulata will flower only once in their lifetime and their flowers last for about five months.
