Atlanta Blooms! at the Atlanta Botanical Garden

Today marks the official beginning of the Atlanta Botanical Garden's first annual Atlanta Blooms! exhibition...and they're beautiful. I stopped by a few days ago for a preview and quite a few of the nearly 200,000 bulbs, including 70,000 tulips (photo) are blooming or are on the verge of blooming.

Given today's sunny weather forecast, I hope the Garden sees a record number of visitors. This is definitely a get-it-while-it's-hot exhibition...the bulbs will only last so long and this is a sight you really want to see.

I will be stopping by tomorrow for the first official day...and I'm sure I'll be by at least a time or two more throughout the exhibition, which runs through April. And there's a special "Blooms & Bubbly" event on Thursday evening, April 7, 2011.
