Stamariaara APO

At the International Productivity Conference 2001 held in Singapore in October 2001, the Singapore Government honored the APO on its 40th Anniversary by naming a new hybrid orchid after the organization — the Stamariaara APO. It was specially selected for its resilience and flowering ability, much like the organization it was named after. An orange-red hybrid, a close shade of the APO's corporate color, the Stamariaara APO is a short bloomer, hardy, free-flowering all year round, easy to grow, and with uniform flowers each measuring 5.6 cm across. The name "Stamariaara APO" has been registered with the International Registration Authority for Orchid Hybrids of the Royal Horticultural Society in England.
