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