Blooming Beauty

There’s something special about tulips. Whatever your preference, there’s a color and style that can’t fail to impress, from the delicate and subtle pinks of Foxtrot or China Town to the blousy and bold Brazil or Black Parrot. As warmer climates usher in a spring season of blossoming flowers, we can’t help but be drawn to these colorful blooms. If you’re a fan, then make your way to one of these tulip time festivals around the world. Istanbul, Turkey If you thought tulips originated from the Netherlands, you’d be wrong. They actually come from much further east. The blooms are native to Asia and the Ottomans introduced them to the Dutch. The annual International Istanbul Tulip Festival has been held each April since 2006. Millions of tulips brighten up every corner of this captivating city. Head to Emirgan Park close to the Bosphorus, one of the city’s largest public parks, where a program of events incorporates music, dance and art alongside the tulips themselves. Also unmissable is the centrally-located Sultanahmet Square, where half a million bulbs erupt as a spectacular flower carpet in front of the Blue Mosque – the world’s largest. Ottawa, Canada The largest festival of its kind in the world, the Canadian Tulip Festival has been staged since 1953. It celebrates the gift of tulips from the Dutch Royal Family to the Canadians at the end of World War Two to express their gratitude for offering the family a safe haven. It also marks the occasion of Princess Margriet’s birth in Ottawa in 1943, after her parents fled into exile as the Nazis marched into the Netherlands. The festival takes place in May and over a million tulips provide a riot of color throughout the city. One of the best places to see these displays is in Commissioners Park, by the shores of the Dow’s Lake section of the Rideau Canal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Hever Castle, England Kent is known as the Garden of England and what better sight to see at this time of year than broad swathes of tulips? Hever Castle is one of the county’s most beautiful castles, the childhood home of Anne Boleyn, wife of King Henry VIII. At the end of April, the efforts of bulb master and Chelsea Flower Show gold medal winner Johnny Walkers, together with a capable team of gardeners, are on show....
