Singapore, 4 July 2026 - Held in conjunction with the 10th edition of Singapore Garden Festival, the Singapore Orchid Show crowned its Grand Champion today, with Renantanda Singapore Gardening Society x Vanda Alice Motes taking the top honours. A total of 366 entries were received across eight sections and 52 competition classes, with dedicated hobbyists and industry players showcasing plants from across Asia and the Americas.
Orchid entries were grouped into sections based on their subtribe, alliance, or genus, and further subdivided into classes according to their taxonomy, flower colour, flower size and growth characteristics. Orchid entries compete within their respective classes for Ribbon Rosettes and overall awards. The overall winners are:
- Grand Champion
- Best Hybrid
- Best Specimen Plant
- Best Species
The orchid plants were judged by Orchid Society of South East Asia (OSSEA) accredited judges, and assessed based on flower shape, colour, presentation, size and substance, as well as miscellaneous considerations such as difficulty of cultivation or noteworthy botanical attributes. Minister of State for National Development and Trade and Industry Mr Alvin Tan presented the awards to the winners at the prize presentation ceremony this evening.
Organised in partnership with OSSEA, the Singapore Orchid Show features rare, unique and show-winning orchid varieties, including warm and cool-growing species and hybrids found in different regions around the world. These orchids are on display at the Mediterranean and South American Garden at the Flower Dome from 4 to 12 July 2026.
