That was what I was doing when I was preparing a few Amaryllis bulbs to give to friends and family this week: therapeutic planting. I felt like I had to share that with my news blog readers, becaus...

No matter how excited I am to get started with the day, I have to write a news blog first. So what to do now? I usually start by going to Fluwel, especially when it’s break time. It had already sta...

When I start talking about Amaryllises, I imagine most people think about our most popular products. One of those, a favourite of mine as well, is our Amaryllis wreath. The Amaryllis wreath is a co...

At this very moment, the Dahlias are not only chubby, but also available in our web shop. You can order your favourites for next year.

I would guess that a lot of my readers have already started planting their flower bulbs, but as we sold quite a lot of them this year, I want to make sure everyone remembers to do it. If you have y...

Good news this week! One of my personal favourite Daffodils, Say Cheese, has made its return to our web shop. She took a small sabbatical when the grower wanted to expand the variety for a few year...

Peace and quiet slowly returns to our Daffodil nursery. All of our bulbs have been cleaned and counted, the orders have been assembled, and the bulbs that need to go back into the ground this year...

This week, I drove down to Lisse to pick up the last of the Daffodils that are going to be shipped to England this year. They have to leave the warehouse on Friday, and as I’m going to get them, it...
