This year's were especially nice - and the show's almost over! A few shots from them at their peak, as well as a link to a NY Times article and video about these plantings after the jump...

The best part about this year's variety was the variation. Rather than a sea of one color, the tulips varied from mostly cream to mostly red, with the random red or yellow tulip among the thousands.

NY Times had this article, The Brightest Bulbs on the Circuit, From the Tulip Man, with a video, giving us a small look at what goes into these Park Avenue plantings.

I don't see the link to the NY times article and video?

S. Elizabeth,

Just click on the blue text that says "The Brightest Bulbs on the Circuit, From the Tulip Man" in the short paragraph after the post's last picture. It will take you to the Times article, which also has the video interview on the same page.
