Mother Nature delays opening of Blooms

Named by Southern Living as one of “The Best Places to See Stunning Spring Blooms Across the South,” the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden presents Dallas Blooms, the largest annual floral festival in the Southwest. Presented by IBERIABANK/First Horizon, the festival runs now to April 11. With the theme “America the Beautiful,” the spring festival showcases an explosion of color from 100 varieties of spring bulbs and more than 500,000 spring-blooming blossoms, thousands of azaleas and hundreds of Japanese cherry trees. Each week, Dallas Blooms focuses on one of the six regions in the United States with food, music, flowers and special events. Because of the frigid weather, the flowers are just starting to bloom throughout the 66 acres. Join guests Feb. 27-Mar. 5 as the garden celebrates the Southwest Week, emphasizing Texas culture. Visit dallasarboretum.org/dallas-blooms for specific information and times. Timed tickets are required and can be purchased online at dallasarboretum.org or by calling 214-515-6615. No walk-ups are available for purchase. Masks are also required for the duration of the visit.  — Juliette Coulter
