Vanda Miss Joaquim [Vanda hookeriana x Vanda teres] is the national flower of Singapore.
When it was chosen as the national flower, in April 1981, why was that hybrid preferred to a species ? Do you know of other countries which have adopted an orchid hybrid as their national flower ? If possible, please provide references with any answer. ******** Regards, Viateur _______________________________________________ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) [email protected] http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
