Making of Orchids Soap

I am thinking of what soap should I make for Mother's day.  Then, I remembered that I had an orchid theme soap mold that I bought some time ago. I didn't have any reason to make an orchid soap but I really really like the design of the mold so I bought it. Now I find my reason already!

I made orchids soaps in preparation for mother's day. I know that mother's just like my mama loves gardens and flowers. She didn't have any orchids at home because she told me that taking care of orchids at home is a big responsibility. You need to know the correct environmental conditions to successfully grow and maintain orchids.

Speaking of orchids,  did you know that orchids is the national flower of singapore?

Vanda Miss Joaquim var. Agnes, an orchid hybrid, was selected as Singapore's National Flower on 15 April 1981.  This inaugurated the first National Flower Week in Singapore.  The plant is named after Agnes Joaquim (1854 - 1899), in whose garden it first appeared.  It is considered the first orchid hybrid from Singapore and the first Vanda hybrid to be registered.

Happy Mother's Day to my Mama and to all the Mommies and Grandmommies out there!!!
