Starting Saturday, the conservatory at Como Park will be full of festive flowers. For its annual Holiday Flower Show, a tradition since 1925, the Sunken Garden will be decked with hundreds of poinsettias in colors ranging from traditional reds and soft pinks to apricot, burgundy and maroon.

There also will be holiday teas in the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Dec. 10. The teas will feature a three-course service and a behind-the-scenes conservatory tour. Tickets for the tea are $45. (Reservations required. Call 651-487-8250.) There’s no fee to see the holiday show, which is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. through Jan. 23, but donations are encouraged.
