“As a significant heritage feature of the Gardens, its history can be traced back to 1861, when it was planted by Lawrence Niven, the first appointed manager of the Singapore Botanic Gardens,” Thereis Choo, senior director of Singapore Botanic Gardens, told the Singapore newspaper.

He said the tiger orchid has an unpredictable blooming pattern, typically flowering only once every few years, often triggered by a shift from rainy to hot, dry conditions.

I’ve never seen a tiger orchid in full bloom before, must be an amazing sight. I usually go for smaller stuff like indoor plants since I stay in an HDB flat with limited space. Just picked up a fern and some peace lilies recently—pretty easy to care for and brighten up the room. If you’re into that too, I found some good ones at Houseplant's website.
