Despite this year's record cold and higher than usual snowfall, crocus and daffodils are finally starting to push up through the leaves in our backyard -- a perfect time for the Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Garden's 2014 Spring Flower Show which opens this Saturday. While the tulips, hyacinths, daffodils and other spring blooms are still the stars of the show, music also takes center stage for the 2014 show, with whimsical sculptures made out of up-cycled instruments, plantings designed to portray the rise and fall of musical notes, and unexpected musical planters, such as an upright piano.

Phipps Conservatory & Botanical Gardens is open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and until 10:00 p.m. on Fridays. Admission is $15 for adults; $14 for seniors (62 and over) and students with ID; $11 for children ages 2-18; and free for Phipps members and children under 2.
