Phipps Conservatory’s Orchid and Tropical Bonsai Show: Eye Candy

Look at them, but don’t eat the candy-inspired plants in Phipps Conservatory’s Orchid and Tropical Bonsai Show: Eye Candy. From now until March 10, all are welcome to gawk at the more than 1,000 eye-popping flowers. The combination of candy-striped and oversized lollipop shaped orchids, confectionery-scented blooms, and vibrant colors are more than enough to chase the winter blues away. Plus, the unique Frank Sarris Orchid, named after the founder of Pittsburgh-based Sarris Candies, is making a special appearance. (P.S. wearing a tropical shirt on any Sunday in February gets you 50 percent off admission.)
