Description of the attraction
The Orchid Garden is one of the most attractive attractions in the Lake Park.
Orchids are considered the most numerous species of plants, the number of their diversity exceeds two thousand. Their inflorescences vary in diameter from a few millimeters to decimeters. Comparing the former with the latter, it is difficult to believe that they are relatives in the plant world. Their species uniqueness, created by nature, is adapted to the smallest nuances to the rain forests of Malaysia.
More than six thousand of these plants, representing over 800 species, grow and bloom in the orchid garden. They contrast with each other in size and color palette, and together they form an exclusive landscape of beauty. The famous garden is the two-meter orchid "Grammotofillum". Even connoisseurs of these flowers are not always ready to meet such a giant orchid.
The garden is very cleverly designed, with many ferns growing in the vicinity of the orchids. In bouquets of flower boutiques, fern always sets off the main tone. In an orchid garden, ferns successfully serve the same purpose - emphasizing the exoticism of orchids. The park cultivates not only wild plants that grow and bloom in the soil, but also epiphytic orchids. They are grown in charcoal, brick chips and even expanded polystyrene granules.
The orchid garden is in close contact with the hibiscus garden, together they occupy a hectare of the territory of the Lake Park. This plant is a national symbol of Malaysia, where it is called somewhat pompously, but rightly "the rose of the tropics" - for its shape and luxurious color scheme. More than 500 varieties of this personification of the country can be seen in the hibiscus garden.
A good touch to the picture of blooming gardens is made by a pond, water lilies and lotuses on its surface delight the eye with their dissimilar color shades. The gardens have gazebos and terraces with benches where you can relax while walking.
The wild orchid is known to absorb moisture from fog, dew and rain. The park uses original installations that humidify the area by means of fog. Naturally, they work in their free time from visitors.
