тюльпан

tulips are originally from kazakhstan. everyone seems to think they are from holland, but that's just because the dutch tried to cash in on them in the 16th century. wild tulips still grow in the steppes of central asia, and the great wild tulip bloom is, err… was last week.

okay, so we missed the peak. but today's excusion was still pretty great. and the red tulips still dotted the hills. check them out:
