The following are just a few of the photos from a visit to the Sungei Buluh
flower nurseries just before the Chinese New Year celebrations in 2017. Located in Selangor, Malaysia, this place used to be the
old leprosy centre a few decades back. Some of the original residents are still around tending the nurseries but their children (mostly grown up) have migrated to the cities to pursue a more comfortable life.
The nurseries have not changed much although the surrounding development
(which includes the Sungei Buluh Hospital and
other University College clinics) has encroached on it.
It was a hive of activity on the day of my visit and
many beautiful flowers were there to be seen and purchased.
I consider this spot a little paradise on earth, visited by many locals
who want to purchase plants and trees for their gardens.
It could potentially be a tourist attraction.
