You also probably didn't know that 3 to 4 people are killed here every year by large blocks of ice falling into the street from the rooftops above.

Chris,
all this information about Turkey and its tulips is 100% true for Moscow, too, and for many other Russian cities and towns: long winters and short summers.
Here in winter temperatures may be up to -40C and in summer - up to +40C (for the past days the temperature has been around +30C in Moscow), and this winter was extremely cold.
And every winter in Moscow (and many other cities and towns) many people are killed by ice cubes and/or icicles falling from roofs, too.
And there are many tulips growing here, too. They are very 'common' objects.
So what?..
