That's awesome you had such a great time! The National Orchid Garden is seriously impressive. I'd try contacting the Gardens by the Bay directly – their website should have contact info, or maybe even a research department you could email. Failing that, a scholarly search on databases like JSTOR or Google Scholar using keywords like "orchid breeding Singapore" or "Vanda hybridisation" might turn up some papers. You could also check if the National University of Singapore's botany department has any publications on their research. Good luck with your orchid quest!

Try going super early in the morning, like before the sun even thinks about rising. Or, late at night. Weekends are generally worse than weekdays. And if your situation allows, maybe consider a smaller clinic for less urgent issues – unless it's truly an emergency, of course. That waiting room's a crucible, I'll give you that.
