Orchid Park
Jalan Tembusu, 50480 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
The orchid park is close to the bird park and the butterfly park and is worth spending an hour just looking around at the different colour blooms and displays. The Orchid Park houses up to 800 species of orchids. The garden comprises a semi circle pergola for the climbing and epiphytic variety and a rock garden for the terrestrial variety.

Hibiscus Garden
Just a stone throw away is the Kuala Lumpur Hibiscus Garden where you will be able to see the many colours of hibiscus being grown here. Hibiscus is the National Flower (Hibiscus Rosa-Sinensis) of Malaysia and this garden was created in the year 1989 with an area of 0.9 hectares. There are over 5,000 species that are planted here. The Hibiscus Park showcases the various species of Malaysia’s national flower, the Bunga Raya (Hibiscus Rosa Sinensis). Some of the attractions in the garden include a 4-metre high waterfall, pools and fountains. A lovely colonial style building has been converted into an exhibition hall with a tearoom and a gallery.

Getting there : Bus 21C or 48C from behind Kotaraya Plaza runs a route past the KL Bird Park (which is right opposite the Orchid & Hibiscus Gardens). If you are coming from Chow Kit, you can hop on bus 18 or 21A and get off at the old railway station: the gardens are a short walk away from here.
To get back to the city walk to the KL Bird Park: there are usually plenty of taxis waiting here. If you do not want to walk to the Bird Park, then it may be worth chartering a taxi or booking one ahead of time.
