A new hybrid tulip was created and named after actress Audrey Hepburn. An official dedication ceremony took place at her family's former mansion Huis Doorn in Doorn, Holland. Watch it if only to see Audrey speak Dutch. :)

  • I mean, who took it?

  • It came from the bonus disc of "Gardens of the World," so I'm assuming the film crew from that show tagged along and filmed this for Audrey. They were in Holland at one point to talk about tulips and other bulb flowers.

  • did you have hepburn vidéos when she speaks spanish please?

  • Unfortunately I don't, at least not right now. But I will look for you!

  • Only the subtitles aren't completely right. In the first part, she actually says: "...who never thought of herself and has been a great example for me. If you permit me, I would like to give this tulip to my sweet, sweet aunt Jacqueline, Knight in the Order of Orange-Nassau."

  • Thank you for the more accurate translation!

    It always breaks my heart when Jacqueline cries.

  • Muito triste.

  • I was in Holland to buy these tulips to bring to her grave, and sadly to say, they where not to be found... Any clue as where they might grow? I am deeply sorry. The woman was a saint and deserves better than this...

  • what i woundnt give to have the 1 idiot locked in a room with me so i can literally knock some sense to him

  • she still had her beautiful smile!!

  • She's a perfect flower,many thanks for the post.

  • @MollyHuggins translation is so very important, thanks.

  • She walks so beautifully!

  • A true beauty...not the tulip, but Audrey Kathleen.....How could we NOT love her so much? She will always be alike a "big sister" to me, even though I grew up a continent away...She will be with us forever...

  • @FabAudrey Thank you

  • @Geschichte2010 Yeah this is where the Kaiser lived. According to different things Ive read, Audrey's grandparents owned this house and sold it to the Kaiser sometime around when Audrey's grandfather became Governor of Suriname. Audrey's mother grew up in this house.
