Ice tulips in full bloom in downtown Tokyo
An abundance of ice tulips, which have undergone a special refrigeration process to adjust their blooming time, are in full bloom at Roppongi Hills in Minato Ward, Tokyo.
About 2,000 of the bulbs were planted in the outdoor flower beds but they bloomed about a week later than usual due to the cold wave at the beginning of the year, according to Mori Building Co., which manages them. The flower beds are now decorated with the red and pink flowers.
A 29-year-old company employee from Chiba City who was passing by said, “It was so pretty that I couldn’t help stopping to take a picture.”
The ice tulips will be at their best until the end of this month.
