    “When you take an orchid out of its pot, you must first loosen the roots’ hold on the soil. Late last evening as I unravelled the braids of the shattered phalaenopsis, I saw how the ends were white and shrivelled from neglect. You have to do it gently—it’s like combing hair. I remember Mum’s fingers running through mine, and mine through hers, until the final months when all of it started to fall.” 
     
     
    A pot shatters. An arrangement falls apart. A florist finds herself amidst the scattered leaves of history. At once a poetry collection and a documentary novella, The Orchid Folios reimagines the orchid as a living, breathing document of history: a history that enmeshes the personal, colonial, linguistic, and biotechnological with the Vanda Miss Joaquim, the symbol of Singapore’s postcolonial hybridity. While the Orchid has shaped the fantastical narratives that govern our multiracial City in a Garden, it continues to shape-shift and bloom on its own terms, challenging us to imagine a decolonised Singapore. This is the organism at the heart of The Orchid Folios—by turns stark and unruly, documenting and challenging the narratives that are the roots of our national consciousness.

    ****** This premium audiobook offers calming soundscapes designed especially for dogs and cats. The music has been carefully arranged to help your loyal companions relax—even when you're not at home.****** Research has shown that certain audio frequencies can influence the emotional state of pets. In fact, veterinarians in the UK often use the very tracks included in this audiobook before surgeries to ease stress and create a sense of calm. While there are countless products claiming to soothe animals through sound, reviews often tell a different story: the wrong base frequencies are used, or the sessions are simply too short to make an impact.****** Pet Relaxation Music was developed in collaboration with leading British veterinarians and experienced sound engineers. It's scientifically proven that only specific frequencies truly help dogs and cats settle down, guiding their brains into a deeply relaxed state. Whether it's the mail carrier at the door, a thunderstorm outside, or recovery after surgery—these gentle, floating tones promote maximum calm, reducing separation anxiety, barking, whining, whimpering, or destructive chewing. Perfect for both day and night.****** Usage tips: The audiobook runs for a total of 10+ hours. Please don't leave your pet alone for such long periods of time! The tracks are arranged in a carefully tested sequence, so always play them from the beginning for the best effect. Keep the volume moderate—quiet enough to feel soothing rather than overwhelming. For best results, try to minimize competing noises such as phones, TV, or radio. ******
