Reverse Tulips, which are called “crying flower” by locals, belong to the family of lilies. Since this flower is rare and unique in the world with medicinal properties, efforts are underway to register it on the UNESCO World Heritage List. This tulip grows from the end of April or the beginning of May and continues until rainy season. So far, 15 species of reverse tulips have been identified in Iran. The lemon-yellow species of this flower is known as the Zagros tulip. The reverse tulip has a long connection with the history of Iran since ancient times and its image can be seen in Iranian mythological stories.
