Phipps is newly transformed with beautiful candy-striped orchids, orchids in the shape of over-sized lollipops, confectionery-scented varieties and more — with over 1,000 spectacular blooms to enjoy.
Orchids (formally named orchidaceae) are flowering plants with blooms that are often colorful and fragrant. The orchidaceae have about 28,000 currently accepted species.
Become surrounded by deliciously-scented blooms in a wide variety of vibrant colors, shapes and textures that are sure to delight. The unique Frank Sarris Orchid, named in honor of the founder of Pittsburgh-based Sarris Candies, will also make an appearance.
You’ll also have the chance to immerse yourself in the delectable detail of bonsai trees meticulously trained for years and beautifully showcased in this special exhibit.
The bonsai is a Japanese art form using cultivation techniques to produce small trees in containers that mimic the shape and scale of full size trees.
Classified by size and style based upon the shapes of their trunks, roots and branches, bonsai take many forms, from the iconic formal upright bonsai to the more dramatic slant bonsai that resemble windswept, centuries-old trees.
