Get ready for an orchid extravaganza that'll whisk you away to the mystical lands of Machu Picchu without leaving Singapore. Over 30 showstopping orchid species and hybrids from the UNESCO World Heritage site are being displayed at Gardens by the Bay's Cloud Forest. Hold onto your petal hats, because among these floral wonders is the vibrant orange and fuchsia-hued national treasure Masdevallia veitchiana, also known as the “Waqanki” orchid – translated to “you will cry” in the Quechua language. Another showstopper is the orchidarium as big as a baby grand piano, packed with 80 precious orchid species flown from Peru for the first time. Don’t miss this golden opportunity to witness their beauty.
