Ukrainian Holland. "Tulip Ball"
I, as promised, continue to talk about the amazing nearby. This time, fate threw me to Kropyvnytskyi, and not just anywhere, but immediately to the ball. It was a magnificent Tulip Ball that swirled me in a waltz of its splendor!
A lot of legends were composed about tulips in different countries and a huge number of beautiful works were written - about love and betrayal, about happiness and sadness, about joy and suffering.
Kropyvnytsky Park also has its own special legend. And this is how the story began. In early spring, a couple in love walked through the park. The boy's love for the girl was so boundless that the young man wanted to give his beloved a myriad of flowers for her birthday. He thought for a long time how to turn this idea into reality. Cut flowers seemed to him a very banal gift, because they could not convey the full depth of his feelings. And suddenly a brilliant idea illuminates the young man - to give live, multi-colored flowering flower beds of millions of tulips, each of which carries different feelings.
Red tulips symbolize great love.
Yellow - joy, happiness and good mood.
Orange - wealth and friendship.
Pink - tenderness and youth.
White - purity, innocence and respect.
Purple - a sign of gratitude.
And he gave his beloved a fairy tale of tulips!
Then together they gradually began to improve and supplement the park with new interesting attractions for children from all over the city. Over time, their love became stronger, and fate blessed them with the birth of beautiful children. It happened in the spring, because it is not for nothing that spring comes to life and everything new is born. Since then, children's laughter has been heard from everywhere in the park, and the park has become a wonderful place for recreation for citizens and guests.
There is even a small zoo with birds.
These beautiful landscapes inspire all creative people to create new paintings, lyrical songs and love poems.
More than 20 years have passed since then, and the number of tulips is only increasing every year and the collection is becoming more diverse. And Kropyvnytsky Dendropark gives this beauty to everyone absolutely free of charge.
In total, there are more than 3 million tulips in the park, about 150 species, this year alone, 63 species of unique flowers have replenished the collection. So we have our own little Holland in Ukraine.

Polina_Sumy the park is old, but tulips appeared in it recently, when it became non-urban.
Polina_Sumy парк старый ,но тюльпаны в нем появилсь недавно ,когда он стал не городским .
hanno4ka, I was inspired not only by tulips, I really liked your city in general, I didn’t even expect that there are so many great advantages in such a small city. Sakura alley saw, beautiful!
illusia, I completely agree that the beauty of our country is endless!
Polina_Sumy, since the period of the 90s, the arboretum has been in private hands, and at first the entrance to it was paid, then the residents of the city began to resent this approach, especially those who every morning went through it to work "straight". Then it became free for children, pensioners and the disabled, but after, under the onslaught of all segments of the population, the fee for "entrance to the failure" was canceled and now all citizens and guests admire the park absolutely free.
Thanks for the feedback!
hanno4ka, меня вдохновили не только тюльпаны, мне вообще ваш город очень понравился, я даже не ожидала, что в таком маленьком городе так много больших достоинств. Аллею сакур видела, красиво!
illusia, полностью согласна, что красота нашей страны бесконечна!
Polina_Sumy, с периода 90- х годов дендропарк находится в частных руках, и вначале вход в него был платным, затем жители города стали возмущаться таким подходом, особенно те, кто каждое утро ходили через него на работу "напрямки". Тогда он стал бесплатным для детей, пенсионеров и инвалидов, ну а после, под натиском всех слоев населения за "вход в провал" плату отменили и теперь все горожане и гости любуются парком абсолютно бесплатно.
