Feast your eyes on exotic species of orchid hybrids at the various beautiful gardens in Malaysia. Orchids are a Malaysian favourite, with both commercial gardeners and hobbyists. Come weekends, the gardens become a gleeful orchid bazaar. Orchid parks are so unique that many tourists have fallen in love with the various combinations of colours, shapes and sizes of the various breeds of orchids.
It has therapeutic features that even the less garden-savvy people would love to visit, a change for the usual picnics to their normal weekend getaways. Situated at one corner of the Lake Garden (Taman Tasik Perdana), the Kuala Lumpur Orchid Garden has more than 800 species of Malaysian orchids. This garden attracts flower-lovers from all over the world. Besides that, the very famous Bukit Jambul in Penang has a vast selection of orchid species to be revealed to visitors.
Situated beside the Butterfly Park, within the Lake Garden vicinity, the Orchid Garden houses about 3,000 orchid species from around the world, with 800 species from Malaysia alone.
An adjoining section is devoted to the hibiscus, Malaysia's national flower. This section showcases more than 2,000 varieties of hibiscuses. It is common for the occupants of the nearby Butterfly Park to visit these gardens, creating a more lively atmosphere. The Garden is transformed into a bazaar during weekends where both the orchid and the hibiscus are on sale.
