Tulips were from central Asia, and have been in Persian gardens for over a thousand years. Many people think they are Dutch, but they made it through to Europe from the Ottoman Turks. The red tulip is symbolic of Turkey, and these are in the Turkish Cultural Garden.
The tulips will come up in the spring after they are established. A lot of the garden's mulch has been washed onto the sidewalk and beyond. A couple feet away, this empty sat. Above the tulips there was a lot of broken glass, and bottle caps.
Rockefeller Greenhouse and grounds have been, and are still closed to the public. Some flowers are visible from outside the fences. Dolphin statue may be from the old aquarium.
