Cherry blossoms will be in bloom at the Gardens by the Bay's air-conditioned Flower Dome until March 24, 2017.

They have been brought back for a second time as part of the floral display, "Blossom Bliss".

This is the second time Gardens by the Bay is putting together a sakura display.

The weather-sensitive cherry blossoms were brought to the tropics last year as an "experimental floral display" to see if they thrive.

This year, more cherry blossom trees are spread out around the Flower Dome, instead of being confined within a "flower field" as they were last year.

More than 20 varieties of cherry blossoms will be set in a Japanese-inspired landscape featuring traditional elements, such as a tea house and authentic Japanese rickshaws.

The flowers bloom for about one or two weeks.

Updates on the state of blooming can be found on Gardens by the Bay Facebook page.

Flower Dome opens from 9am to 9pm daily, and tickets can be pre-booked online. Admission charge to Flower Dome applies.
