‘Super Natural Night’ at Phipps Conservatory



On Wednesday evening we visited the Phipps Conservatory at the Botanical Gardens in Pittsburgh, to see the illuminated giant glass flower sculptures created by the glass artist Jason Gamrath.



These huge glass orchids in the central atrium were a taste of things to come.  Overhead the more abstract and huge glass chandelier created by Dale Chihuly which is a permanent exhibit in the Conservatory dome..



We walked around the glasshouses one by one, enjoying the sight of the illuminated glass flowers of all types..















There were also several other Dale Chihuly pieces..




In some of the greenhouses there were tableaux of various types of glass flowers.
