Agnes Joaquim : ウィキペディア英語版 | Agnes Joaquim
Ashkhen Hovakimian (Agnes Joaquim) (b. 7 April 1854, Singapore - d. 2 July 1899, Singapore) was a Singapura woman of Armenian descent who bred the world's first cultivated orchid hybrid, ''Vanda'' 'Miss Joaquim'. Joaquim was inducted in the Singapore Women's Hall of Fame in 2015. The Armenian names are anglicised in various ways. Thus Agnes is sometimes spelt Ashkhen or Ashghen and her surname Hovakimian, Joachim or Joakim. ==Early life== Hovakimian was the eldest daughter and second child of Parsick (Basil) Joaquim, an Armenian merchant and commercial agent, and Urelia Joaquim. Agnes was an avid gardener as her mother was, specialising in breeding orchids. Besides gardening, she was also an active member of the Armenian Church and a skilled embroiderer.
