The tulip bulbs are imported from Holland, a popular destination for people during springtime. The Botanic Gardens say the cool, wet winter slowed the blooming process, but now those flowers are popping with both color and fragrance.

"They're really fragrant. You can actually smell them like all throughout the gardens," explained Sonya Anderson, the Horticulture Specialist. "People love it, especially when the bloom is really full."
