Spring is beginning to burst at the Garden, but it’s not just the colors that are grabbing our attention. The Texas mountain laurel is a cute purple flower that smells a lot like grape soda! Listen to Georgiann Keller’s audio blog while you scroll through the pictures below to learn what this little flower looks like and where to find it. And if the smell of grape soda ignites your hunger or thirst buds,  grab a treat from Dottie’s, the Garden concession station, open Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m.
