Tulip Parade at the University Botanic Gardens in Balchik

Impressive arrangements, fresh solutions and exotic practices have been realized at the spring ground floor planting of flowers at the Balchik Botanic Gardens.

April, the month of the flowers, opens up nature for us. This is the time for walks in the sunshine to enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the view of blossoming tulips, pansies, hyacinths and daffodils at the new seasonal spring ground floor planting at the Balchik Botanic Gardens.

The representatives of the Liliaceae family of tulips stand out with their unique imposing figures and traditionally become the top attraction of the season.

The visitors of the Botanic Gardens can enjoy the Tulip Parade at the Razsadnika Gardens and the Garden of the Gods. This year the flower arrangements are patterned under the influence of the geometry style; the different varieties of tulips are laid out in circular shapes that create the effect of spectacular bouquets spread on colourful carpets of pansies.

More than 120 varieties of tulips have been planted at the Botanic Gardens. At the moment the anihesis of the varieties from the classes Botanic, Fosteriana, Kaufmaniana, Greigii, Double late tulips, Triumph and the so-called Darwin hybrid can be observed there.

With their pastel, dazzling nuances Apricot Beauty, Candy Price, Demeter, Sweetheart, Lefeber Favorite, Golden Apeldoorn, Flaming Purissima, Yellow Purissima, Viking, Vivaldi, Design impression, Princeps, and Madame Lefeber strike the visitor with their exquisite beauty. The so-called fringed tulips impress the visitors with their elegance, too. As a relatively recent group their distinctive features are the fringes on the blossoms. New acquisitions of the parade this year are Тulipa ‘Whittallii’, Tulipa ‘Little Beaty’, Tulipa ‘Bakeri Lilac Wonder’ and Тulipa ‘Acuminata’, the last also kmown as the ‘the spider tulip’ and can be seen in a separate flower plot in the Razsadnika Gardens.

The tulips’ colourful effect would be incomplete without the carpet of 39 varieties of pansies, three varieties of daisies, three varieties of forget-me-nots, three varieties of silene, seven varieties of hyacinths and twelve varieties of daffodils.

The pageant of colour and forms has been going on for almost two months now and its apogee is expected to take place at the end of April and the beginning of May.
