Mission accomplished! We found the orchid pots (and wire hangers) we'd been admiring on our travels available for purchase. Now just to figure out how we're going to lug them back to the UK in one piece.
A big thank you to B for pandering to the madness of a plant besotted tourist.
Sungai Buloh is 15 min drive outside of KL, soon to be made more accessable by the implementation of the MRT Sungai Buloh-Kajang Line. The garden plant nurseries are legacy of the former self-supporting Sungai Buloh leprosy asylum established in 1930 after the 1926 Leper Enactment Act decreed people suffering from leprosy be quarantined in leprosaria. The disease is contained and now that there is no longer any need for the centre the area is under threat of redevelopment.This is a very special gardener's paradise and a hub of horticultural expertise and commerce that should be supported and cherished by the residents of KL. Oh how lucky, lucky you are.
To drive to the nurseries follow Jalan Hospital and then after passing Sungai Buloh Hospital on your right turn left at the Sungai Chembong, over a small bridge, into Jalan Lembah.
