Papilionanthe SG Women, a new orchid hybrid, traces its lineage back to Singapore’s national flower (Vanda Miss Joaquim) and it inherits the characteristics of resilience and ability to produce blooms all year-round from its predecessors.

This orchid was created by the Singapore Botanic Gardens in celebration of the continued progress, contributions and achievements of all SG Women. It was officially named in a ceremony officiated by President Halimah Yacob at the Istana on International Women’s Day on 8 March 2021.
