Fragrant cherry blossoms, graceful pebble fountains, delicate origami cranes, and exotic koi fish in a tranquil pond are a few of the eye-popping elements in this vibrant display. At every turn, thousands of fresh tulips, daffodils, snapdragons, and spring flowers blanket the ground among botanical animals enormous in size. Overhead ethereal hand-painted parasols appear floating in air. Linger among the bonsai trees, note the abstract stone art of Mount Fuji, and be inspired by the karma of the Far East recreated in the Bellagio Conservatory at Las Vegas.
