Srinagar: Asia’s largest Tulip garden on the banks of Dal Lake here was thrown open to visitors on Saturday, even as the inclement weather conditions have delayed blooming of majority of the bulbs.
“The garden was thrown open for the public today. The weather this year delayed the blooming of the tulips and delayed its opening,” an official of the Floriculture Department told PTI. He said most of the bulbs had not bloomed due to inclement weather and incessant rains in the month of March this year.
“Even with the bad weather conditions, around 50,000-60,000 bulbs have bloomed and we expect around 10 lakh bulbs to fully bloom in the next five or six days,” he said. (PTI)
