The seventh-annual Istanbul Tulip Festival opened Sunday with a ceremony at Emirgan Woods. Istanbul Mayor Kadir Topbaş said the municipality has planted 12 million tulip bulbs. Tulips traveled to Holland from Istanbul 350 years ago, but have finally returned home, Topbaş said. “We planted 600,000 tulip bulbs in 2005, bringing tulips back into our culture again. They are a part of our life.”
