Playing Host...

but mostly just playing!

We have company this week, and I have taken a few days off work while they are here. The Mister's youngest brother and his wife are visiting from the "still pretty cold but not quite frozen North".

We are showing them what Las Vegas has to offer, as well as a short weekend trip to southern California.

Today, the Bellagio Conservatory was part of the agenda. It is one of my favorite things about this city!

It is almost impossible to take a photo in the conservatory without including other folks taking photos!

Part of the display was a zen garden of rocks and sand and chrysanthemums.

And part was a fabulous, fragrant explosion of spring bulbs!

This ladybug was in the English Garden area. She is made of red carnations!

This is her friend the snail!


His home was decorated with two colors of rose buds (with some other plant material that I don't know the name of.) I am guessing the buds have to be replaced at least every 4 or 5 days as they open.

These poppies were so beautiful. They looked like crepe paper flowers in all colors of pink, red, yellow and orange!

Many of the tulips had been replaced and had not opened, but this group was putting on a show!

Tomorrow, we are headed to California, so I will be out of touch for a few days.

I hope next time I can show you the rest of the Rhymeland Blocks!
