Tearful tulip, a photo from Bursa, Marmara

Photographer's Note

Most popular flower which native in Hakkari/Turkey.
Turkish name as "Reverse tulip"(ters lale)or " tearful tulip"(ağlayan lale).
I toke this beautiful flower in Botanic Park/Bursa on Sunday

"Fritillaria imperialis is a member of the genus Fritillaria, family Liliaceae. It is native to Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Turkey and the Himalaya region. It is one of the earliest plants to be cultivated. It grows to about 1 meter (3 feet) in height, and bears lance shaped, glossy leaves, at intervals along the stem. It bears a prominent whorl of downward facing flowers at the top of the stem. The flower whorl is topped by a 'crown' of small leaves, hence the name. While the wild form is usually red flowered, various colours are found in cultivation, ranging through the reds, oranges, and yellows. The pendulous flowers make a bold statement in the garden and the odor scares away mice, moles, and other rodents. In the northern hemisphere, flowering takes place in late April or May. Due to the way that the bulb is formed, it is best to plant it on its side, to prevent water causing rot in the depression at the top of the bulb. Fritillaria requires full sun for best growth. After flowering and complete drying of the leaves, the stems should be cut off just above the ground."

Very good macro where your DOF was carefully and successfully chosen. All the elements meant to be in focus are perfectly sharp but the background is nicely blurred so all our attention is on the tulips.

Hi Bulent, I never saw this kind of flower. I only know the common Netherland tulip.

This one is pretty too, has strong colors and nice leafs disposition. Thanks for share this uncommon flower with us.

About the photo you manage very well the light and depth gaving a nice unfocous background.

Greetings
Andre
