Daffodil Project considering project for Dutch MH17 victims

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.
