Waling-Waling

Waling-waling

Waling-waling

Commonly known in the Philippines as “Waling-Waling”, the Euanthe sanderiana is a flower of the orchid family. It is also named in some countries as Sander’s Euanthe, after notable orchidologist Henry Frederick Conrad Sander. After being replaced by the Sampaguita as National Flower of the Philippines, the waling-waling is now known as the “Queen of Philippine flowers”. Most native people of the Bagobo tribe continue to worship this orchid as a “diwata” (fairy).

Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach originally named Euanthe sanderiana as Vanda sanderiana. It has two forms, pink and white, also referred to as alba. M. Roebelin discovered the original pink variety in the Philippines in 1881 or 1882.

Euanthe sanderiana is indigenous to Mindanao region in the provinces of Davao, Cotabato, and Zamboanga where it is found on the trunks of dipterocarp trees at elevations below 500 meters. Over-collected, the plant is considered rare in nature and it is often used in hybridization.

Studies have shown that when the waling-waling is raised at high altitude, the plant bears flowers early. In 2004, there had been a motion in the House of Representatives of the Philippines to declare the “Waling-waling” as the country’s national flower, replacing the Sampaguita.

How to get there

From Davao International Airport, take a taxi (P150) or jeepney (P15/person) going to the Bangkerohan Terminal (city center). Take the “v-hire” (van for hire, P40/person) going to Calinan for about 45 minutes. Then take a “habal-habal” (motorcycle for hire, P10/person) going to the Orchid Farm.
