35. Tulipa doerfleri



This charming red tulip can be found in the alpine meadows near the village of Spili in Crete (450m/1,500ft). From year to year it blooms at a different time, depending on how long the snow persists and the direction of the prevailing wind. Once it starts, a whole field turns red in a matter of days.
