Just like you were there: Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens
Yesterday, I snuck away to Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens so I could “stop and smell the roses” so to speak. It was just what I needed to see the beautiful flowers, feel the sun on my face, and watch the butterflies happily flying to and fro. Phipps was in the process of preparing for its new summer show, Gardens of Sound and Motion. We got some sneak peeks of that but I can’t wait to go back to see the show in all its glory. In the meantime, here were some of my favorite things from this visit.
What does this look like to you? At first I saw a chandelier but after seeing its name, I see a dress. It’s called the “Biltmore Ballgown” – love!
A lovely Lady’s Slipper orchid, part of the larger Slipper Orchid Collection that Phipps is growing along with the Orchid Society of Western Pennsylvania.
The Insect Inn – what an inviting place for insects to stop in and stay awhile.
This little structure was built by a couple of kids in the Nature Play Garden.
The Golden Shrimp Plant from Peru.
Thanks for coming along – it was just like you were there!
