If you enjoy the beauty of flowers and plant-life then the Phipps’ Conservatory is a place you may wish to visit. One can visit this site when in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. 
This building in the original state was a gift to Pittsburgh from henry W. Phipps and opened in 1893. I was just a young fellow then.
A few of the exhibits to be viewed are: Palm Court and the Tropical Forest Conservatory depicting a tropical forest environment; Desert Room featuring plants and cacti from the desert regions; the Orchid Room show casing the beautiful colored orchids and bromeliads and the Fern Room. Many other exhibits are present and some, of course, changing throughout the seasons. Outdoor gardens can be walked through as well.
