Renowned for its exceptional artistry and quality, Taisugar's phalaenopsis orchids have once again captured international acclaim, securing a total of 14 awards at the 2025 Taiwan International Orchid Show (TIOS). This year, over 1,500 orchids competed for top honors, evaluated by 200 judges from Taiwan and abroad. Taisugar stood out with 12 winning varieties, achieving one first prize, four second prizes, and three third prizes, along with two silver medals and four bronze medals. Among these, the first-prize winner "P. Chian Xen Starlight X P. Fuller's V-Plus" and the second-prize and silver medal recipient "Phal. amabilis" received the highest recognition, solidifying Taisugar's stellar reputation in the global orchid industry.
Taisugar's success spanned multiple competition categories, including individual flower size and color groups (first, second, and third prizes) and breeding and cultivation performance evaluations (silver and bronze medals). This demonstrates the company's continued innovation in breeding and cultivation techniques, allowing its orchids to shine on the global stage. At the exhibition, Taisugar also presented a presidential-level orchid arrangement, featuring its signature "Phal. Taisuco Anna" in a stunning display. The booth design incorporated elements inspired by the Lanyu Island canoe, complemented by award-winning varieties such as "Phal. Taisuco Green Apple", "Phal. Taisuco Anna", and "Phal. amabilis", symbolizing the harmony of diverse cultures and the vision of Taiwan's orchid industry being firmly rooted in Taiwan while expanding to the world.
According to Taisugar, P. Chian Xen Starlight X P. Fuller's V-Plus, this year's first-prize winner, boasts vivid pink striped petals, offering a softer and more delicate charm compared to traditional white varieties. Its unique large lip petal design and full, rounded blooms elevate its visual appeal, making it highly desirable both as a decorative plant and a valuable breeding material for future cultivations. The second-prize and silver medal winner Phal. amabilis, with its pristine white petals, embodies resilience and perseverance, much like the strong and steadfast grandmothers of Taiwan. As a multiple award-winning variety, Phal. amabilis remains a staple in floral exhibitions worldwide, a favorite for international displays, and serves as a cherished symbol of connection and reassurance for overseas Taiwanese communities.
During the exhibition, Taisugar has set up a sales booth at the Market Pavilion, offering not only potted Phalaenopsis orchids but also the Taisugar Smooth Orchid Extract skincare series and other biotechnology products. Customers who spend NT$2,000 or more can choose between two complimentary gifts: a potted Phalaenopsis orchid or a lightweight travel bag set. Visitors are warmly invited to explore and shop products on offer. Additionally, this year, attendees can take a nostalgic ride on the narrow-gauge sugar railway to tour the exhibition grounds. Until the end of March, visitors who present their TIOS ticket stubs at Liuying Jianshanpi Resort or Wushulin Recreation Park can enjoy discounted admission. We sincerely welcome visitors of all ages to visit Tainan, ride the historic sugar railway, admire the exquisite orchids, and enjoy a leisurely Taisugar experience.
