Did you know that Kazakhstan is the birthplace of tulips? This fact is recognized throughout the scientific community. With the arrival of spring in Kazakhstan there is a drastic change that takes place on the steppes. This is the changing of a picturesque landscape of blankets of white snow, where the sleeping winter has awakened, into an array of beautiful shades of red, yellow, orange, white, and semitone. These tulips sway in the winds as if they have been placed on a canvas by an inspired painter whose strokes seem to be almost endless like the steppes. April and May is the time when thousands of flowers cover mountains and steppes, forming a stunning carpet. Spring is the only time one can witness all of the amazing tulips – the ancestors of the modern tulips all around the world.
