It's that time of year again when Istanbul explodes into a fountain of colors. After a dreary and grey winter it seems like everyone is thirsty for sunshine and brightness. On weekends hordes makes their pilgrimage to Emirgan Park where the most spectacular display of tulips is found.
Istanbul Municipality's website states that 120 different tulip species have been planted for this year's annual Tulip Festival in Emirgan, in all, 20 million plants at the cost of 13 million TL (more than 7 million US dollars)!

| Pretty difficult to find a place to park your car close to the park on weekends during the Tulip Festival, and the roads leading in an out of the park are packed with people. |

| Not all of the park is full of people and tulips. This woman is looking for fresh herbs to pick. |
....and orange is my favorite color....
