The Summer 2026 Bellagio Conservatory arrangement features a jungle theme with lions, tigers, elephants, giraffes, and flamingos, enjoying a tranquil oasis.
In the east bed, a large lion king and his cub watch over the exhibit as colorful flamingos play in a water feature. Lions are called the "Kings of the Jungle" because they represent strength, courage, royalty, leadership, and divine authority. They are fearless protectors of their pride, standing firm against physical threats and warning enemies of their strength with a loud roar.
There is a profusion of different flowers throughout the Conservatory.

In the jungle, tigers are more than just predators - they are symbols of power, protection, and natural balance. While lions are considered the "King of the Jungle," tigers are considered the "King of Beasts." Tigers are guardian figures who ward off evil spirits and protect sacred spaces, which translates into their role as protectors of the ecosystem, maintaining the balance between predators and prey. Their immense physical power, stealth, and hunting prowess make tigers a symbol of raw strength, ferocity, and survival instinct. They can take down prey much larger than themselves, showing bravery and determination. This makes them a representation of resilience and the ability to face danger head-on.

Elephants are highly adaptable and inhabit a variety of ecosystems. They are considered to be "ecosystem engineers" because of their size, intelligence, and impact on vegetation. In the jungle, they create pathways through dense undergrowth and disperse seeds of all types over long distances, which supports forest regeneration and biodiversity. Their presence is vital for maintaining the structure and health of tropical forests.
