Pittsburgh - Phipps Conservatory

We spent the last week visiting family. Phipps is one of our favorite spots in Pittsburgh - especially on a day that threatened rain.

Amos wanted to see "the" waterfall, so we visited all of the waterfalls (and other water features) in the conservatory. This one is outside.
The waterfall (above) drops into a small lotus pond.
I've seen plenty of white lotus flowers, and purple ones, but I can't remember seeing an orange-yellow one before.
The outer layer of this palm tree looked as if it had been woven.
I liked this giant hiding in plain sight in the Serpentine Room.
The Victoria Room showcased a number of Greek-style statues. Several heads with botanical headgear were positioned to reflect in the still water of the central pond.
More heads with living hats.
