Magnets with Bottle Openers

 

Dazzled by the wondrous floral blooms you can find throughout the Gardens? The colours and beauty of three flowers – the Cannonball Flower, Torch Ginger and Vanda Miss Joaquim – serve as inspiration for these pretty magnets that also function as bottle openers. 

While Singapore’s national flower, Vanda Miss Joaquim needs no introduction, how much do you know about one of the Gardens’ Heritage Trees, the Cannonball Tree that is found just behind the waterfall in the Ginger Garden? 

This tree is believed to be almost 100 years old, planted in 1931 from seeds collected by E.J.H. Corner from specimens he found when he was in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Corner was the Assistant Director of the Singapore Botanic Gardens from 1929 to 1945. As for the Torch Ginger, it is known for its medicinal properties. This vibrant beauty can be found in many parts of the Gardens, but particularly in the Ginger Garden. 

Botanical Print Mug

Everyone needs a trusty mug as a coffee or tea companion for a nice cuppa in the office or at home. The botanical print mug is an ideal gift for the nature lover, featuring a tasteful and understated print of leaves, flowers, berries, seeds and buds from the Gardens’ archive.
