Tulips at the Navy-Merchant Marine Memorial Washington DC

I'll need to search for information about the Navy-Merchant Marine Memorial and its tulip displays.

Vibrant red tulips create a striking foreground to the Navy-Merchant Marine Memorial in Lady Bird Johnson Park, their bold color contrasting beautifully with the aluminum sculpture of seagulls soaring above stylized waves. The memorial is specifically "landscaped with red tulips in the spring and red cannas in the fall", continuing a tradition that enhances this riverside monument. The park's landscape design, developed by Edward Durell Stone Jr., includes "11,000 red tulips, replaced annually" as part of Lady Bird Johnson's beautification initiative. This Art Deco monument, dedicated in 1934 to honor Navy personnel and merchant mariners who died at sea during World War I, offers visitors not only a meaningful memorial experience but also views of the Washington DC skyline across the Potomac River.
