The Vanda Miss Joaquim is Singapore's national flower, first discovered in the garden of Miss Agnes Joaquim in 1893. The selection of a national flower was part of Singapore's effort at fostering national pride and a sense of identity. Vanda Miss Joaquim was selected particularly because of its hardy and resilient qualities and its ability to bloom throughout the year.
