The Garden at Hotel Equatorial Bangi - Putrajaya Part 2

There is a beautifully landscaped or should I say award-winning garden at Hotel Equatorial Bangi-Putrajaya. In Part 1 of my post, I have already featured the Japanese Koi Pond cum Rock Garden. Here in Part 2, we shall take a stroll along the meandering pathways of lush tropical greenery.

This looks like the perfect setting for a wedding reception and photography session.

Some of the features here include:

• Well manicured lawns, trimmed hedges and tall swaying palms.
• Beautifully designed arbors decked in luxuriant green foliage 
• Lovely blooms of the everflowering Bauhinia kockiana intertwined with Tristellateia australasiae
• A pergola lined a whole walkway beside the Japanese styled koi pond and it leads to the entrance of a free-form swimming pool where one can watch beautiful, romantic sunsets in the evenings.
• The sounds of running water from the bubbling fountains and mini waterfalls soothes and calm the soul.

The sandy pathway leads to the entrance of an arbour decorated with Bauhinia kockiana plants.

Palm trees, Ixora flowers, Tristellateia australasiae and B. kockiana are our native plants.
B. kockiana plants grow wild in the rainforest jungles of Malaysia,
particularly in Sabah on the island of Borneo where you can find them scalling the heights
of the tallest trees. From afar, their flowers look like big balls of fire among a sea of green.

This pergola is completely covered with B. kockiana and Tristellateia australasiae plants. Both are woody climbers. The stone-paved walkway here is lined with Spider Lilies on the left and Calathea lutea plants on the right. A divider screen placed at the meeting point of 2 parallel lines completes the picturesque view.

This passageway with pillars and columns look like an aisle for a pair of love birds to walk down and say their marriage vows, don't you think so?

A family of fiery red ants making a nest on B. kockiana leaves.
Be careful as the bites from these ants are just as 'fiery' and painful.

This is the entrance to the garden.

Do you think that this garden would be nice for:

1. a company function
2. a wedding or engagement
3. a birthday bash
4. an anniversary celebration
5. a picnic and a book to read with a swim in the pool ???
