Hello Nerdy Birdies!
Happy Monday! I hope that your week is off to a decent start.
I had meant to get this post out sooner, but things got really hectic for a moment, and I had to put it on the back burner.
Do any of you enjoy visiting Botanical Gardens or Conservatories? I love walking around Botanical Gardens and seeing all of the colourful flowers and plants that they have on display.
One of my favourite Botanical Gardens to visit is Phipps Conservatory. You can check out their website here! I visited there a little while ago, while their Bonsai and Orchid show was going on.
Today I’m going to share some of my favourite snapshots from that visit – I hope you enjoy!
Just as a preface, and for some further information, all of these photos were taken on my iPhone 12 and were edited using the VSCO app.
I adore this display – I think mostly because this is how I would love to spend my days if I could; working on my journal while surrounded by beautiful plants!
The continuation of the photo above. Including some gorgeous Lady’s Slipper Orchids.
This statue is one of my favourite permanent features of Phipps Conservatory. She greets you as you enter the main conservatory building. I think I take a photo of her every time.
Grabbed this photo through the rails of a fence around the display. I love the cute little fruit growing here.
A cute succulent display in a pot from the Desert Room. These succulents are some of my favourites – I’d love to keep some in my study.
As with the statue above, this wall is one of my favourite features at Phipps. The plants kept in the pots changes depending on the exhibit that’s going on, and it’s always interesting to see how they change with each visit.
The way these Orchids are lit up, they remind me of a singing group out on the stage.
The Orchids must have just been misted, as I was able to get this great detail shot of water droplets on the petals. I think this is my favourite of all the photos I took during this most recent visit.
A Calamondin Orange bonsai tree. There was a sign warning everyone that the fruit from the tree is bitter – which makes me wonder if anyone has tried to pick it before?
The last photo I’m going to share is this beautifully formed Chinese Banyan bonsai tree. I absolutely adore the way this tree flows out of the pot and down toward the ground. Like a waterfall formed of leaves and branches.
Do you enjoy looking at Bonsai trees?
And that is it for my snapshots from Phipps Conservatory! I hope you enjoyed the photos that I chose! I tried to pick out a variety that really gives you a taste for how pretty this place is!
If you’re interested in seeing more of my photography, check out my Instagram!
Let me know what else you’d like to see from me, I’m always happy for suggestion!
Thanks again for checking out this post, and until next time, stay nerdy my friends!
