Korolkov's Tulip (Tulipa korolkowii) is not just a flower, but a true legend of the steppes and mountains of Central Asia. Its bright, fiery flowers, which flare up in the spring among the endless expanses, have become a symbol of the wild, indomitable beauty of Kazakhstan's nature. This species was discovered at the end of the 19th century and described in 1877 by the Russian botanist and traveler Nikolai Ivanovich Korolkov, after whom it received its name. Since then, the tulip has attracted the attention of not only scientists, but also travelers, photographers and nature lovers. Its bright flowering decorates the steppes and foothills, creating truly picturesque spring landscapes. The tulip is similar and resembles the Borschov tulip.
The Korolkov tulip blooms in April-May and bears fruit in June. The tulip is found in the steppes, semi-deserts and foothills of Central Asia, including Kazakhstan. It prefers open sunny areas with well-drained soils, often growing on rocky slopes and in river valleys. Due to its rarity and popularity among collectors, the tulip is listed in the Red Book of Kazakhstan. Its collection is prohibited, and the preservation of the natural habitat is becoming an important task.
