Mother Nature's Offering to the World is the theme for Bellagio's Summer 2023 arrangement. There are placards located around the Conservancy that describe the arrangements.
[Entrance] "Beyond the water-filled green and purple splendor of our display are vibrant media screens filled with waterfalls and other picturesque scenes, creating the sense of an infinite, natural world. Flowing water is commonly associated with cleansing, healing and change."
[Center Bed] "With a gentle cascade of weeping willows overhead, a stone pathway beckons you to discover our moss secret garden. Coming to life amid the flowery summer scene are magical wooded creatures representing a harmonic union of nature and humanity."
[Center Bed] "Exquisite pink and red butterflies flit softly through the air as the search for sweet nectar in the flowers below. Butterflies are widely recognized symbols of transformation, hope and strength, and are believed to bring good luck during cycles of change within your life."

[North Bed] "Perched intently atop a large rock at the center of the display is a mythological-like figure reminiscent of a 16th century Italian sculpture. Representing the masculine side of nature, this gentle giant pours replenishing water into the foggy river below."

[West Bed] "Welcoming the new summer season, the loving hands of Mother Nature arise from the Earth to present a brilliant bouquet of flowers as replenishing water falls gently into the awaiting lagoon. The 28-fot-tall hands, inspired by an Italian sculpture, embody environmental stewardship, partnership and renewal."

[South Bed] "A playful goldfinch forages for insects amidst the floral nirvana as fog rolls gently across the pond surface below. With their carefree spirit and cheerful energy, finches are a delightful reminder of the simple joys in life."
