Olaf Scholz in Singapore: The orchid is named after the chancellor

During his trip to Singapore, Olaf Scholz also paid a visit to the Botanical Garden. In the traditional orchid ceremony, one of the tropical plants was named after the Federal Chancellor: Renanthera Olaf Scholz.

The Renanthera is an orchid genus that produces particularly beautiful flowers. It prefers a bright, draught-free room. And since this Monday there has been a Renanthera in Singapore named after Olaf Scholz. It has long, delicate flowers and the Chancellor, despite being shown a photo beforehand, is quite impressed when he first sees the plant at Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s official residence. The plant would be a nice souvenir for Scholz’s wife, allegedly he brings her flowers from time to time.
