Manila Orchidarium

Manila Orchidarium, Rizal Park
January 3, 2008

It was once a parking lot until developed into a one-hectare rainforest-like park. Named The Orchidarium, it is a repository of orchids, as well as a variety of blooms, scents and greens.

A park within a park, the orchidarium is located inside the Luneta park and was once a parking lot until developed into a one-hectare rainforest-like park.


Established in 1994, the Orchidarium houses orchid species (the Philippines has reputedly the richest collection of orchids in the world) and a butterfly pavilion sponsored by Nokia. The orchidarium is also a favorite wedding venue.
