Actually, the official flower of istanbul is the tulip. The tulips of Holland actually came from Istanbul...

Snow in Istanbul is actually the worst. I love snow, but all the hills here, the cars cannot navigate and there are alot of accidents. Additionally, there is not alot of snow removal equipment so the snow stays until it melts. There are 7 hills of istanbul and I live on the steepest (Fulya). Whenever we get more than 10cm of snow, our area almost shuts down. No taxis, no garbage pickup. Its really bad. (Not talking bad about Turkey by the way. Just honestly describing conditions as I see them.)

Thanks Keith - I only learned that recently. I was a bit confused because I always thought the tulipa was indigenous to the middle east, but its even more interesting than that!
While people consider the tulipa to be indigenous to "Turkey" it is not the "Turkey" as we know it now. The tulips that we are familiar with now are from areas that are now parts of Russia, around the Black Sea, the Crimea, and even the steppes north of the Caucasus, all parts of the ancient Ottoman Empire.
Perhaps its more accurate to call it the official flower of the Turks, rather than "Turkey"
Whatever, its one of my favourite flowers
