The day I went, earlier this week, was a heavy pollen day, so I wore my COVID mask. It cut way down on pollen inhalation and it didn't look weird! How awesome is that?! I think we'll see masks around a lot more in springtime in the coming years. When I lived in DC I used an umbrella when it was snowing--a lot of people did--and I saw others using umbrellas when the sun was beating down, wholly unbearable. I don't think any of those protective measures are weird anymore!

Did you know that tulips are a symbol for true love or deep love? And the various colors have meanings, too. My favorite floral arrangement is red roses with white tulips. It's stunning!

Look right, look left, look across the Garden, and definitely look behind you for some truly awesome vistas/photographs that you just won't get if you don't look around.
Here are a few tips for photographing flowers with your phone camera. There are a lot on tips and tutorials on the Internet for flower photography.

I remember the first time I saw an orange azalea, many years ago at Callaway Gardens. I was mesmerized! The Atlanta Botanical Garden has had them for a number of years now which I find exciting, and their azalea collection is growing with the relatively new Azalea Walk!

FYI, the Plant Hotline is operated by a team of Master Gardeners who answer questions from all over the world! They respond remotely and onsite in the Sheffield Botanical Library. They're truly remarkable experts, always super nice, and, in my humble opinion, one of the greatest assets at the Garden!
Camas are typically found in the Western U.S., so it's a real treat for us to get to see them here. The ones pictured above are over near the Glade Garden where you'll find the Dale Chihuly "Radiant Yellow Icicle Tower" (which has replaced the former "Saffron Tower"). You can't miss that tower!
Also, the new "creek" in Storza Woods is complete so if you haven't been to the Garden recently, this will be a delightful treat for you!

If you're a member of the Garden, remember that your membership includes admission to the Atlanta Botanical Garden, GAINESVILLE! They have super-fun exhibition going on right now titled, "Nature Connects". The exhibit includes 15 larger-than-life (much larger in some cases) LEGO sculptures! It's going on through May 30, but don't wait...you know how quickly the days and weeks tick by!

What a beautiful event! I have never been to the Atlanta Botanical Garden, but after reading your post and seeing the stunning photos, I am definitely adding it to my list of places to visit. The Atlanta Blooms! exhibition looks like an amazing opportunity to explore the Garden and witness the spring blossoms. Thank you for sharing your tips for photographing flowers with a phone camera, as well as your personal story about your love for tulips. https://thesiswritinghelp.com.pk/assignment-writing-service It's lovely to hear that the exhibition features various types of flowers, from tulips and daffodils to flowering shrubs and trees. The Chihuly sculptures seem like the perfect complement to the spring blossoms, and I appreciate the suggestion to explore the whole Garden for some truly awe-inspiring views. Thank you again for sharing your experience and the beautiful photos.
