Genting Highlands, 14 May 2026 – Resorts World Awana proudly presents BUNGA 2026, Malaysia’s highest flower exhibition and its inaugural international orchid and floral festival, taking place from 3 to 7 June 2026 at Awana Village, T2 Exhibition Hall.
Set against the cool highland landscape of Resorts World Awana, BUNGA 2026 brings together some of Asia’s most respected orchid societies, growers, hybridisers and collectors in a five-day celebration dedicated to the beauty, artistry and culture of orchids. As the opening chapter of a floral festival series leading to the Asia Pacific Orchid Conference (APOC) 2028, it strengthens Malaysia’s position as a rising hub for orchid appreciation, botanical tourism and international horticultural exchange, culminating in the prestigious conference at Resorts World Awana from 17 to 26 March 2028, marking the first time APOC will be hosted by a private corporation.
International Orchid Showcase and Competition
At the heart of BUNGA 2026 is an international orchid showcase and competition featuring exhibitors from Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Taiwan, Indonesia and Brunei.
Throughout the exhibition, visitors will experience immersive floral displays, rare orchid species, collector hybrids and artistic landscape presentations designed to highlight both horticultural excellence and creative botanical storytelling.
Showcasing Asia’s Finest Orchid Societies and Growers
Among the participating exhibitors is the Taipei Orchid Society from Taiwan, renowned for its high-quality Phalaenopsis orchids and large-scale landscape displays. Thailand will be represented by Chulee Orchid, led by award-winning hybridiser Ms Chulee, and the Damrong Star Orchid Society, both recognised for excellence in international competitions.
From Vietnam, collector Nguyen Anh Tuan will present sought-after exotic hybrids, while Indonesia Orchid Community, known for its active international presence, will also participate alongside Malaysia’s Orchid Society of Selangor & Federal Territory and the Federation of Malaya Orchid Society, both key contributors to local orchid development and conservation. Representing Brunei is Jasmina Florist & Landscaping Co., one of the country’s leading floral and landscape companies with active participation in regional orchid showcases, particularly in Japan.
Singapore will be represented by The Orchid Society of South East Asia (OSSEA), one of the region’s oldest and most prestigious orchid societies. BUNGA 2026 will also feature Mr Home from Thailand, an internationally recognised horticultural figure with expertise in exotic plants and global trade.
Botanical Marketplace Experience
Complementing the showcase is a dedicated botanical marketplace, transforming the festival experience beyond the exhibition halls with a vibrant gathering of orchid growers, botanical artisans, specialty floral merchandise and plant lifestyle offerings.
Visitors can immerse themselves in a lively marketplace atmosphere featuring rare orchid finds, botanical décor, gardening inspirations and floral-inspired creations that celebrate the growing culture surrounding the theme of the event.
Immersive Botanical and Nature Experiences
Beyond the main exhibition, visitors can also explore a series of complementary botanical and lifestyle experiences designed to deepen appreciation for orchids and nature. These include Bloom Beyond BUNGA, an immersive orchid storytelling experience housed within Malaysia’s largest floral glasshouse, Eufloria Gardens & Sculpture Park, alongside Forest for the Future: Orchid Stories by Genting Nature Adventures (GNA), featuring educational interpretation stations focused on orchid conservation, adaptations and biodiversity awareness.
Nature enthusiasts can also participate in Wild Orchid Explorer, a guided rainforest exploration experience led by GNA that brings participants through preserved highland forest trails in search of wild orchids within their natural habitat. In addition, Orchadia introduces a premium botanical lifestyle experience, combining botanical hospitality, orchid-inspired dining, workshops and elevated floral experiences within a luxury greenhouse-inspired environment.
