In this small garden of about one hectare, you will be able to see over 800 species of orchids and a total of 6000 orchids altogether. You can also choose to buy pots of orchids back home. The price range differs with the species but they are around RM30 to RM40 per pot. There are two main types of orchids which are the Epiphytic Orchids and the Terrestrial Orchids. The Epiphytic Orchids grows on charcoal, bricks, tree trunk or branches while the Terrestrial Orchids usually grow from the ground. On weekends, you will be able to learn how these magnificent flowers are planted. Much can be learnt from their caretakers of the garden. Just next to the Orchid Gardens is the Hibiscus Gardens. Do drop by at the Hibiscus Gardens if you are a floral fanatic. If you are more interested in animal watching, you can always go to the Kuala Lumpur Bird Park which is the world's largest free-flight aviary. At this park, it is the home of over 3000 birds from more than 200 species. Just close by is the Deer Park Kuala Lumpur which showcases several deer species. The highlight of the deer park is the mousedeer with is the smallest hoofed animal in the world. At the Islamic Art Museum, you will be able to learn more about the Islamic religion in Malaysia. But if you are a fan of the galaxy and space, the National Planetarium Kuala Lumpur is a place not to be missed. Hotels around the city center are aplenty. Put up for the night at any of the hotels if you wish to visit more places in Kuala Lumpur. Transport There are three ways to get to the Orchid Gardens. You can either get there by taxi or by driving there yourself. But if you would like to take the bus, you can take the RapidKL bus number B101 and B112 and stop at the Dayabumi Complex. Walk towards the National Mosque and walk up the hill to the Orchid Gardens. If the train is what you want to take, then hop on the KTM Komuter and remember to stop at the Old Railway Station. Walk towards the National Mosque and the Lake Gardens is just behind the mosque. (sources: http://kuala-lumpur.attractionsinmalaysia.com/Orchid-Gardens.php)

The kind of orchid that we take their pictures.

when we come there on 8 February 2016, just a few orchid we can see. Because at the time, the caretakers were doing repairs or demolition at several plants. I call it the "re-set". I went there with my friend. Her name is Nabila Norman. She is a student of Master programme at the university of Mayala for Islam education mayor.

Actually, she is my roommate, the 3rd roommate who I have got during a stay at Bangunan Tunku Puan Besar Kurshiah as my dormitory. The address of this dormitory is in front of KL gateway of the University of Malaya, the right side, and you will see the yellow one, behind "RESTAURANT AMJAL".

This is some photos that we took at the time.
