My husband invited me to join him this weekend for a business trip to Vegas. During the time he worked, I explored some of the gardens, limited though they are on the Vegas strip. I had a great time snapping pictures at the Garden Conservatory at the Hotel Bellagio. I can’t speak to the practicality of spring blooms in the middle of a desert climate. They must import a lot of water to pull that off. The flowers were beautiful and well-tended. I will post more tomorrow.
Here are a few to wet your whistle.

Beautiful! I love that you’re still getting your flower fix, even in Vegas. The Conservatory at the Bellagio usually has an impressive seasonally-themed display. Hope you’re being treated to something fabulous! So much to take in in Vegas – enjoy your explorations… And some quality time with your hubby!

My favorite spot in Vegas, isn’t. In Vegas, that is. It’s just on the outskirts, Red Rock. Exquisite wild flowers thereabouts.
