First tulips have blossomed in national park in Bashkiria

Wild tulips have blossomed in the national park "Bashkiria." These primroses appear only for a couple of weeks. Park employees even organize excursions to the places where they bloom so that people have time to admire the quickly disappearing beauty.
Wild tulips are protected; picking them is forbidden (a fine of up to 5 thousand rubles is imposed). Some of their species are listed in the Red Books of Bashkiria and Russia as rare and endangered plants.
