The Bellagio Conservatory debuted its Chinese New Year display this week to celebrate the “Year of the Pig.”

Made up of 32,000 flowers, the display took the work of 115 people to assemble. It features a 12-foot-tall pig as well as eight piglets. The garden is also filled with hanging Chinese lanterns, cherry blossoms and a 20-foot-tall jade coin.

The exhibit is on display through March 2.
