Tulips

Tulips are every where in Almaty. They march in rows down the dividers in the roads. Fill beds in parks and cluster around the base of trees. They have a Central Asian persona. They are shorter than their European counterparts, mostly come in bright primary colours. Lots of red and yellow, pointy petals and many of the double varieties. They herald Spring with a unique C Asian flair and are a reminder that home for the tulip is the mountainous Caucus region. Ttfn
