History

Every year, in the second half of April, in the valley of the Manych River, there is always a mass flowering of tulips.

At the territory of the reserve, it is prohibited to arrange places for rest, therefore locals rest on nearby ponds that were arranged there between 1911 and 1960. Tulips grow on sections of the unraveled steppe. Tendencies to reduce number tulips have not yet been observed. Besides tulips, in the valley also grow irises, feather grass, wormwood, sweet clover, onopordum, Limonium.

In Orlovsky District of Rostov Oblast, the festival "Vospetaya Step" is held since in 2012. The event is of interest to those who are interested in the nature of the steppe. In 2015, the festival was visited by about 3,500 people.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as tourist attraction in Rostov Oblast, Russia. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 29, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q29146953. Authority coordinates are 46.886, 42.029. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1911, 1960, 2012 and 2015.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
