Bellagio’s Conservatory & Botanical Gardens Summer Garden Party
Posted on 14 June 2010
Introduced during Bellagio’s botanical tribute to spring, an exhibition of large-scale sculptural ants remains by popular demand within the resort’s Conservatory & Botanical Gardens through its summer exhibition. Inspired by the social nature of these industrious creatures, American artist Susan P. Cochran created the 7-member bronze ant colony to represent the ideals of cooperation and teamwork.
A natural home to these oversized, diligent creatures, Bellagio’s Conservatory & Botanical Gardens boasts an elaborate summertime display featuring thousands of brightly colored lilies, sunflowers, azaleas and hydrangeas, as well whimsical botanical snails, ladybugs and bumblebees. Ten potted olive trees, each more than 100 years old, have been carefully sculptured into over-sized bonsai presentations for a rare exhibition. Additionally, colorful hot-air balloons sail quietly overhead while American flags will provide a patriotic spirit.
On view through September 9, the summer exhibit within Bellagio’s Conservatory & Botanical Gardens is complimentary to the public and open seven days a week, 24 hours a day.
