This makes these flowers a popular choice for weddings and other events.
The limited-run exhibit showcases over 20 varieties of hydrangeas, with many coloring the pastoral countryside in shades of the Dutch flag. The exhibit is inspired by the iconic red and white West Schouwen Lighthouse, one of the largest and tallest in the Netherlands.
