The Singapore Tourism Board honored Ricky Martin by naming a yellow orchid speckled with crimson spots after him.
"Hello, sexy, how are you?" the 31-year-old singer asked the dainty flower during the naming ceremony Friday at Singapore's downtown Botanical Gardens.
"You're supposed to talk to your plants, right?"
The Renaglottis Ricky Martin is a hybrid of the Renanthera bella and Trichoglottis loheriana species, both indigenous to Southeast Asia, the tourism board said. It produces small star-shaped flowers year-round.
Martin told reporters that making his latest album, "Almas del Silencio," was a "very beautiful, creative process."
"It was about doing music, no egos," he said. "It was about challenging emotions, and (being) daring, and I think it's something that must be done more often in this business."
Martin said he plans to release a new English-language album next February, followed by a world tour, including stops in Australia and Asia.
