Ashkhen Hovakimian (Agnes Joaquim) (b. 7 April 1854, Singapore - d. 2 July 1899, Singapore) was a Singaporean 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.
