A unique tulip, known as Crown Imperial or Fritillaria Imperialis, is now in bloom in the mountainous areas of eastern Turkey as spring has arrived.
The inverted tulip is known by locals in Turkey as aglayan gelin or crying bride and in late spring has clusters of bell-shaped flowers.
Grown especially in mountainous areas in eastern provinces such as Mus and Hakkari, the flower can also be seen in Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.
Doğalover Ebru Yetim stated that she has had an interest in nature and photography since her childhood.
"This is a very nice place where you can find endemic plant species. I came to take pictures of the upside-down tulips. I've photographed snowdrops before. We live in a region where nature and everything are very beautiful," Yetim said.
