Beginning May 13, Bellagio's Conservatory & Botanical Gardens will feature a timeless tribute to summer with a spectacular floral exhibition filled with bright blooms and a playful carnival. Reminiscent of the lazy days of the year’s longest season, the vibrant exhibit features a moving 11-foot tall carousel, a 40-foot, full-scale Ferris wheel and patriotic displays of the American flag’s stars and stripes. 

 

At the entrance of the Conservatory, a reflective pond showcases an American Bald Eagle, made from coconut chips, magnolia leaves and chopped strawflowers, mounted on an over-scale replica of the Liberty Bell.  Nearby, a stone-based rustic greenhouse houses 30 live lorikeets and rosellas, while steps away, a botanical bear and cub are seen on a whimsical fishing adventure.

 

In conjunction with the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art’s new exhibit “A Sense of Place: Landscapes from Monet to Hockney,” the Conservatory has created an interpretation of Armand Guillaumin’s “Vue de Pontcharra Plaine de l'Isere le Soir” using a colorful array of flora. Located in the Giardini corner, the recreated painting is fitted within a 6-foot tall, elaborately carved frame accompanied by a 12-foot painter’s brush and oversized paint palette with simulated smeared oil paints.

 

The summer exhibit within Bellagio’s Conservatory & Botanical Gardens is complimentary to the public and open seven days a week, 24 hours a day and will be on display through September 11.
