The highlight of each season for me is my trip to see the incredible flower displays at The Bellgio Conservatory in Las Vegas! Being a true flower lover I never seem to get enough of seeing them {especially here in the desert}! I'm still trying to breathe after seeing
The Floral Masterpiece that I shared yesterday!
The sunny gardens here are always so bright and cheerful! They are know for their attention to every tiny detail and this never ceases to amaze me. From the colorful ferris wheel...
to the Carousel of Horses...
to the brightly colored balloons...Spring is definitely in the air! {Along with the most aromatic flowers!}
I love the rows of delicate poppies!
Especially the PINK ones!
The incredible array of tulips!
Especially the PINK ones!
The colorful Gerbera Daisies {especially the PINK ones}!
By this point the {oh so aromatic} scent of these incredible flowers has overtaken me!
Then I spot this blast of the most incredible shade of purple!
Coming from the Hyacinth that is surrounding the fish pond where...
I spot a pair of beautiful Cranes and and some incredible bird nests covered with egg shells!
I turn to see more of my favorite Foxgloves...
I have always loved the detail and the coloring of them. They remind me of Willie Wonka and drinking from a candy flower cup!
I make my way over to the towering {at least 30 foot} Butterfly Tree!
Where I look up to see gigantic butterflies hanging from the glass roof! And then I spot...
my favorite feature of all...
The Butterfly House!
This is what I love to come and see! I could stare at them all day! Inside the glass house...
there are treats for them to eat and the temperature is kept just right for them to thrive here.
I love the orange ones!
Then, I spot the most incredible translucent butterfly!
And another...I just love the contrast of the black and white!
Then I spot an incredible black butterfly with great designs!
And yet another solid black beautiful butterfly!
And finally I spot the underneathside of this funny fat little thing!
Here {if you look close} you can get a glimpse of a few of the dancing tubes of water that flow in displays all over the Conservatory! They are mesmerizing to see!
So you can see that here in Las Vegas at the Bellagio Conservatory, Spring is definitely in the air! Do you have Spring Fever yet? I hope so! It's contagious!
Oh how I love the Bellagio Gardens. I remember seeing the butterfly display one other time when we were there. Thanks for sharing since I don't think we will be in Las Vegas until October, when I know they will have another awesome display.

I am making a trip down there next week with Davis. So beautiful! Love you in your pink hat. Thanks for reminding me to do it. :)
ReplyDeleteAmazing to see all that floral beauty and I know exactly what you mean about the butterfly house. When I lived in the UK, I lived close to a butterflyhouse and I, too, could spend hours in there. The great moist temperature, discovering them, watching them, seeing them eat and dance through the air. I would take a bench and just sit and watch. These are the ballerinas among the animals.
