The choice of an orchid as Singapore’s national flower is most appropriate because orchids have long been identified with Singapore. Vanda Miss Joaquim was chosen as Singapore’s national flower in 1981. The designation of a national flower was part of an overall effort to foster national pride and identity. Vanda Miss Joaquim was chosen from 40 other contenders, including some 30 orchids, particularly because of its qualities of resilience and year-round blooming. Indeed, these characteristics resonate Singapore’s continual strive for progress and excellence in all aspects of life.
