Vanchoanthe Michelle Lim ‘Toh Garden’ HCC/OSSEA

Vanchoanthe Michelle Lim ‘Toh Garden’ HCC/OSSEA (Papilionanthe Miss Joaquim × Vanchoanthe Alexander Choo Weiwen). This hybrid was made by David Lim, former Manager of the National Orchid Garden Nursery, who made the cross during the last years of his tenure as Operations Manager, Singapore Orchids Pte Ltd at Mandai Gardens (1996-2008). This hybrid bears close resemblance to its ancestor Papilionanthe Miss Joaquim, but has the novel added attraction of violet blue floral pigmentation, considered rare and highly desirable in the world of flowers. Named for the originator’s granddaughter.
