If you are in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area this weekend, be sure to stop by for the last few days of
Phipps Conservatory's Orchid Show. It was a warm and colorful break from the doldrums of our cold, unrelenting winter! Here are a few of my favorite photos from the Sunken Garden room in the last wing of the conservatory.

I hope you can catch it!
Here are some scenes from last years
Phipps Orchid Show on WMG.
What marvellous place to visit. The colour is astounding - it's difficult not to be impressed.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos Julie! I enjoyed my visit to Phipps this past summer. It looks so nice and sunny inside there...I can't wait for Spring. I don't know about you, but I am pretty well OVER this winter. I just hope my boxwood survive this brutal year we have had. What a winter indeed!

How I wish I could be there...I did visit the Conservatory in April, but missed the orchid "show". The orchids in residence when I visited were wonderful, so the show, as shown in your photographs, must be something special.
