Which way to the winter flower show? The annual conservatory display plus a garden railroad are available for viewing at Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Garden.

PITTSBURGH — Nine indoor gardens have been transformed to tell the tale of holidays past, present and future in the winter flower show continuing through Jan. 9 at Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens.

Featured are topiary snowmen made of white Alyssum, hanging baskets, evergreens lit with tens of thousands of LED lights, three G scale trains and close to 2,000 poinsettias.

Also featured is the garden railroad, complete with operating trains chugging through miniature living scenery, including dwarf conifers, groundcovers, sedums and small-growing plants to reflect a larger-scale natural landscape. The garden railroad will be on display through March 13.
