President John Dramani Mahama was honored by the National Orchid Garden with the unveiling of a brand-new orchid hybrid, “Vanda John Dramani Mahama,” while he was in Singapore Botanic Gardens.
In honor of visiting heads of state, heads of government, and other notable visitors, the orchid will be added to the Garden’s well-known “VIP Orchids” collection.
During his tour, President Mahama signed the visitors’ book and was given an overview of the Gardens’ history.
The National Orchid Garden honors Singapore’s cultural legacy and diplomatic goodwill by naming hybrids after state officials.
In addition to their aesthetic value, orchids are regarded as representations of the country’s development and change.
Today, “Vanda John Dramani Mahama” is surrounded by floral tributes to world leaders who have visited the Botanic Gardens, highlighting the importance of horticulture in Singapore’s long-standing relationships with other countries and its use of soft diplomacy.
