One of the many butterfly lights that hangs from the trees entranced the children who walked underneath them.
The plants got the light-treatment, with this cactus light sitting in the more arid section of the garden.
A lot of the lights at the gardens were bug themed, like this dragonfly light creation.

Eli Shepard was excited to make a wish at Marie Selby Botanical Gardens and knew exactly what he wanted to write on his wish ribbon to tie to the wishing tree.
"I want some pizza!" Shepard said.
Shepard was in attendance during the Lights in Bloom Family Togetherness Night on Dec. 19, sponsored by the Community Foundations $50,000 grant. The Family Togetherness Night brings together children from Title 1 schools and families from organizations such as Girls, Inc. and more.
The rain didn't deter the people who attended the event, who received a dinner courtesy of Boar's Head and got to see a sneak preview of the Lights in Bloom.
