I have posted so many blogs about the Bellagio Conservatory in the last two years I should probably be getting paid by their advertising department. COVID-19 has definitely put a crimp in my out-of-town travels, which has helped promote local attractions and activities.
The Spring 2021 Theme is "Springtime Celebrations Around the World." According to published information:
The floral creation uses more than 30,000 flowers and plants to represent springtime celebrations in The Netherlands, England, Thailand and the United States...The display is in part a tribute to England's annual Chelsea Flower Show. The scene features roses, daffodils and clovers - the United Kingdom's national flowers - as well as a greenhouse filled with more than 100 live domestic butterflies. Boat floats in this portion of the conservatory symbolize a new voyage into spring....The south bed honors the Keukenhof festival in Holland. A large, mobile windmill that symbolizes 'strength and promising future' is the centerpiece of that section. The area is also filled with tulips, daffodils and hyacinths, as well as a pair of hand-painted wooden clogs...In the United States portion of the display are 12 cherry blossom trees meant to represent the Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, D.C...Traveling to the north bed, visitors will find a scene honoring Thailand's Songkran water festival, a celebration where people splash water on each other to purify themselves for the beginning of the Buddhist New Year. The display includes Thai umbrellas, a temple that houses a Buddha statue, a water fountain surrounded by hand-blown glass flowers and a golden elephant.
