Kuala Lumpur Orchid Garden

The Kuala Lumpur Orchid Garden has an entrance that could easily be missed, a small pathway leading up a hill that blends in with the landscape, but once inside, you should prepare yourself for an orchid explosion!


The KL Orchid Garden is located in the Lake Gardens area of Kuala Lumpur, immediately opposite the KL Bird Park and just around the corner from the KL Butterfly Park. Entrance Fees are just RM1/person on weekends, and it is FREE on weekdays and public holidays.



A cascade of colour decorates the Orchid Garden in KL. Every turn is greeted by various species of orchids. It was really difficult to make a selection of photos for this post - I wanted to just use them all!

I was drawn to these individual petite orchids. . .









Then there were the larger versions . . .










We spent our time at the Orchid Garden with our really nice friends from Kuantan. We had a very pleasant time admiring the beauty of nature together. . .









Amidst all the beauty, I even managed to get one shot of myself!



And here are more photos of these gorgeous orchids . . .
















I just can't help but feel happy while I'm around such wonderful creations . . .















We finish with a flurry of red. I could have spent hours upon hours at the Orchid Garden. With two camera batteries. It's my kind of paradise . . .

  8. I enjoyed walking around the Orchid Garden. The fans provided by the management not only help the orchids to cool down but us as well. Lovely pictures of the orchids babe! Glad we went there. Hibiscus garden next!

  12. Beautiful orchids. I grew up with a dad who doted on two greenhouses of orchids and could identify the basic categories. I still love the smell of his greenhouses and they bring back childhood memories.
