The Singapore Garden Festival

The Singapore Garden Festival
I was at the Singapore Garden Festival, the final run before the World Orchid Conference in 2011. This show was held from 15th. to 22nd. July 2010 at Suntec International Convention & Exhibition Centre.
The floral and orchid display, and landscape designs, were amazing. The orchids were displayed in beautifully designed landscape, well blended with a theme. On the sixth floor, the whole area was transformed into a fantasy land with landscape and garden designs fit for a King. Trees 20 feet tall were brought in to form a secondary jungle complete with birds and insect sounds.

Encyclia alata an entry from Song Orchids won the Grand.Champion

I salute all the members of OSSEA for a job well done.

Dato' Hamidah toured the show with some officials and commented that she was very pleased with how the show was organised and thank all the members who have worked so hard to make it a success. In her closing speech, she confirmed that she will work seriously with POS President, Dato' Dr. Majumder to make our proposal of an orchid garden on a 6 acre land a reality. This garden will not only be a tourist attraction but also will promote the orchid industry in Perak.
The highlight of the event was the presentation of a new hybrid, Den . Muhyuddin Yassin named after the Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Hj Mohd Yassin by the Vice President of Perak Orchid Society, Mr. Robert Ang on behalf of Perak Orchid Society.






The hybrid measuring 6.5cm x 3cm with upright sepals of three twists is dark reddish brown in colour. The dark colouration comes from Den. Black Spider whose genes dominated that of the other parent plant, Den. Ong-Ang Ai Boon which has yellow flowers. All the hybrids that bloomed has no yellow colouration and almost all are dark brown to black in colour. This hybrid is originated by Robert Ang.
This event attracted more than 300 stalls selling agro and related products and Dato' Hamida said that over two hundred thousand people came to grace the show.

A fantastic show and all thanks should go to all who have helped in any way to make this a success.
Special thanks goes to all the exhibitors who brought so many plants many of which are best plants in their own rights. To mention a few, Den. Lime Frost, Den. Hiroshi Tokunaga, Den . Frosty Dawn, and many miniature dendrobiums and phalaenopsis are champions in their own right.
