Celebrity Orchids

Who knew that there was a range of celebrity Orchids at the Singapore Botanic Gardens? I for one didn't but was pleasantly surprised that Ricky Martin has been honored in a way he truly deserves. Much like his career, I couldn't actually find the orchid, so i presumed it died in the late 90s.


And here is the Jackie Chan Orchid. Again, not sure where the orchid is because the ones in the background were sign posted as something else.


Here is the Queen's orchid. Again, couldn't actually see the Orchid, probably shriveled and old on the ground somewhere.



And the blossoming Princess Diana Orchid. Ironic really as the only living celebrity orchid is named after a woman who died 10 years ago. Perhaps they used her ashes to fertilize it and when the others die the orchids might start to grow.
