Fun at the Phipps

November 26, 2019

The Phipps Arboretum in Pittsburgh is an amazing place. We visited there with Jodie this morning. I took all kinds of pictures so I could share the experience with you. I hope you enjoy these amazing plants, decorated trees, and flowers.

Jodie & Bob in front of the Phipps Museum
One whole area in the museum was devoted to plants from Cuba. That area was very humid and warm.
Another area was devoted to the North Pole Christmas theme.
These reindeer were made out of sponges!
The gigantic glass flowers in the next picture were created by Jason Gamrath, a student of glass artist, Chihuly
Take a look at these unusual orchids. The sign said, “Transvaal.”
I love the ruffly white orchids.
Jodie was fascinated by the spotted orchids.
“Wine spots” – interesting, huh?

Thanks for touring with us.
I hope you enjoyed the flowers as much as we did!

See ya later…
I’m headed to the Masonic Home to play with Liam.
