Fragrant orchids like the Vanda Mimi Palmer x Vanda tessellata hybrids has been in bloom in our nursery for two weeks now. Compared to previously cultivated Vanda Mimi Palmer and Vanda tessellata, these new hybrids have brighter colours and a shiny textured flowers. These fragrant orchids also emit a strong jasmine fragrance, like the parent plants, in the morning till late noon.
Up next is the Hoya imperialis is one of the largest flowering variety of the Hoya family. This creeper requires little maintenance and grows very vigorously in our climate. Its flowers are spectacularly large, antique mauve in colour and forms a semi-circle cluster as shown in the picture. Though Hoya imperialis flowers throughout the year in Singapore’s climate, during peak flowering season, the Hoya imperialis flowers look just like clump of grapes hanging off its vines.
Whew, the weather’s been seriously hot this month!
Thanks for sharing, it’s always enjoyable reading your post. I currently have a flowering pot of purple Dendrobium, its emitting a very faint fragrance too. Could you recommend some orchids with fragrance for sale in your shop or is the above hybrid for sale?
Hihi M M Loh,
Thank you for your compliment!
Yes, the above hybrid is available for sales at our nursery. There’s still a few late bloomers with about 50% flowers open but not as much flowers as last month. =)

hi, i am looking for (1) V mimi palmer x V tessellata & (2) V mimi palmer x V insignis.
Are they available now?
Thank you.
Hello Silverelf,
I just stopped by the Toh Garden Nursery and bought 10 fragrant Vanda without any ID or labels for which the persons who sold me told me that you or the person that knows the orchids is overseas and I could just contact you or someone that will help giving me the ID as I will start collecting the Vanda orchids from now on and their IDs are important.
If I took pictures of the blooming flowers and the whole plants, can you ID them for me?
Thx
Tash
Hi, I can’t seems to find Vanda Mimi Palmer x Vanda tessellata under the gift shop catalogue. Is it still available? Can purchase be done via walk-in or only pre-order? Thank you.
Hi John,
Most of these nice fragrant orchids are sold out already, however we do always have a few hiding somewhere in our nursery. 😉
At the moment, we have more new hybrids of V. Mimi Palmer, do check them out.

Hi we got a mimi palmer in charcoal pot from you abt 4 months ago. After flowers, it seems that the leaves and new baby shoots are not growing bigger or taller or may be very slow and no new roots..Do we need to repot or is hanging basket better for this orchid? Or there may be other issues or is it resting period.
Hope you can help to advise. Thank you
Hi Thomas,
If the plant is growing slow, its likely due to lack of light or fertilizers thus affecting its nutrition.
In general, it takes an orchid about 2-3 years of growth from seedling to maturity.
Mimi Palmer can be grown in hanging baskets or potted in charcoal.
