UsOne of my favorite places on earth is the Phipps Conservatory in Pittsburgh, PA. We went to visit some friends there over the weekend, and as usual, ended up at Phipps. They were in the midst of their spring flower show and it was glorious. Especially the room filled with daffodils and hyacinths. Aaaaaaahhhhh!
Chihuly glass among the foliage I've never been one of glassmaker Dale Chihuly's biggest fans, but his work, set into the landscape, is stunning. One of his sculptures or bowls set out by itself looks like a fish out of water. Once it is set into foliage or a landscape, it is transformed.
More Chihuly
Several of Frabel's people were scattered about. Unfortunately, none of the other photos turned out very well. Set in the ponds and walking along branches, these figures were fascinating. I wish I could go and visit them again tomorrow.
Where is my teleportation pod?!?

Chihuly's orange "pods" are stunning growing out of the foliage. Wow!
for a minute I was going to ask you where one could get Chiluly Grass from. Then I realized. :)
Beautiful!
Your beautiful photos took me right back to one of my favorite places in the world...the Climatron at the Missouri Botanical Garden. It's essentially a greenhouse under a huge geodesic dome, filled with tropical sights, sounds and smells...the muted roar of a waterfall, the musky scent of rich earth and exotic flowers and green, green and more green everywhere. Stepping into the Climatron was like going on a little vacation. Thank you for stirring up those wonderful memories.
Amiable dispatch and this enter helped me alot in my college assignement. Gratefulness you for your information.
