Pictured are photos of orchids from Singapore’s National Orchid Gardens. Orchids have been closely associated with Singapore’s Botanic Garden’s since 1859, and in the 1920s one of the world’s largest orchid breeding operations began here. There are over 2,000 different uniquely-breed breeds of orchids on display. The National Orchid Gardens are a registered national heritage site. It also hosts the VIP gardens, where there are orchids named after some of the world’s leaders, including the Kamala Harris and the Queen Elizabeth orchids.
