Orchid and Bonsai Exhibt 2012

So I spent time on Wednesday afternoon wandering around Phipps Conservatory taking lots of pictures of all the flowers that are displayed for the 2012 Orchid and Bonsai Exhibit. I have to admit that it wasn't all that different from last year and some of the rooms look like they are set up as the base of what is to come for the spring flower show. Either way it was still a relaxing time just being in the conservatory away from the bustle of the city. I also spent a lot of time really examining all of the different types of orchids which I'll be sharing throughout the next month.
As for now here are some pictures from the Sunken Garden, Palm court, Broderie Room and the East Room.

Display when you first walk into the Palm Court

This urn had a continuous flow of water coming over the top and down the sides.
