The flora at Marie Selby Botanical Gardens comes to light for the 12th annual holiday exhibit Lights In Bloom.Â
The display includes the Great Lawn covered in larger-than-life butterflies,  a wishing tree where guests can leave their well wishes for the upcoming new year and a tunnel of lights that transports visitors from the glowing tropical forests to the snowy North Pole.Â
The exhibit will be coming to life nightly from 6 to 9 p.m. through Dec. 30 at Marie Selby Botanical Gardens.Â
