New York City flowers may bloom in the Netherlands in honor of those killed aboard Malaysia Airlines Flight 17.
Officials from greenspace group New Yorkers for Parks are considering a flower-planting project in remembrance of the 193 Dutch citizens killed in the attack on the jetliner, a spokesman said Saturday.
The group oversees the Daffodil Project, which began after 9/11 when a Dutch flower supplier and the city of Rotterdam sent 1 million bulbs to the Big Apple. Since then, schoolchildren have planted nearly 5 million daffodils across the city.
A flower-planting program in honor of Flight 17’s Dutch victims “is in line with the spirit of the project,” said the group’s spokesman, James Yolles.
