Springtime in Europe makes one think of tulips in Holland. Yes, of course. But ... as I have discovered, the Dutch don't maintain exclusivity on spring flower shows. In April there is a tulip festival in Istanbul. Blooms everywhere.
An abundance of tulips:
In gardens surrounding public places, in front of the old city walls, along the roadside, blankets of them running beside sidewalks, and even a carpet of more than 1/2 million tulips in the park between the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sophia.
This city is lovely and brilliant with color right now.
