Dutch Orange Balloon and Peony-Flowering Tulips

The Statue of Liberty, Central Park, the High Line, and the Park Avenue Malls. What do these New York icons have in common? All four faced an uphill battle before becoming an indelible part of the city. And those battles took vision, persistence, serendipity, philanthropy, and luck.

This year the Park Avenue Malls were tightly planted with Dutch orange Balloon and Peony Dutch hybrid blossoms, chosen tulips to help commemorate the 400th anniversary of the first ship bearing Dutch settlers to New Amsterdam.

Enjoy the video below which celebrates the 400th anniversary with the Dutch tulips.
