So here a few things that I found at the Christmas Show that don't fit into any real theme that I want to post about so I decided to throw them all together here.
The first are some pictures of the front of Phipps. I got there at 8:30am so there was still frost on the ground. I learned that conservatory doesn't open until 9:30 during the week so I came back later but I'm glad I got these pictures first.

The frost on the ground adds a new layer of color, white, green and red. |

The next are a few new surprises from within the Orchid room. I'll have a whole post of Orchids in the future since I have hundreds of pictures of them on my computer but here are a few new things I saw.

A small terrirum. I think this is because the display case of miniature orchids is still not back in circulation. |

This is one of my favorite types of orchids but the fist time I saw it in this coloring. Paphiopedlium Leeanum |

These window boxes were just sitting in the little entry way between the Palm Court and the train set up and they are one of my favorite things I saw.
