Hizzoner to city: Yo, here's yer flower
Parks Commissioner Adrian Benepe said the idea of making the daffodil the city's official flower arose after 9/11, when Hans van Waardenburg of the Dutch company B&K Flowerbulbs asked if there was anything he could do to help the city.
Benepe and leaders of New Yorkers for Parks, a nonprofit parks support group, quickly agreed that planting tens of thousands of daffodil bulbs throughout New York would be a perfect symbol of spiritual and physical rebirth.

Quick! Before they wither and keel over. Check out the bedazzling immense display of daffodils on the medians of 111th Street between 48th & 51st Avenues in Corona. This show puts Park Avenue to shame!
Yeah....give me a nose-gay and then have your way with me.
No thank you Mayor Mike. I 'll take good government in lieu of your flowers!
