Data Info |
Singapore established herself on the world orchid map only in 1954, when a hybrid named Vanda Tan Chay Yan won a gold medal from the Royal Horticultural Society and also an FCC at the Chelsea Flower Show in UK. Robert Tan Hoon Siang personally developed the hybrid but named it after his father. Robert Tan is the great-grandson of Tan Tock Seng. |
