The 2021 Fluwel Amaryllis Top 10
It is always a moment of I look forward to: finding out which Amaryllis is going to be that year’s bestselller.
Wintertime … time for the Amaryllis
They are available again in the Fluwel web shop. No less than 80 different varieties and among them some exciting new ones.
Dressage Horses
Last week I called the Daffodil a Workhorse so now it is time to put the dressage horse in the spotlight. Of course, this is about the Tulip, blazonry of the flower bulb family.

And then it was quiet. Growers around us have finished planting and the fields surrounding our home are now covered in golden straw to give the flower bulbs a warm and comfortable bed during winter.
Our polder next to the North Sea beaches
I do feel like telling you about Fluwel’s location. I have a lot of (new) readers, so I think it is safe to assume that most of you don’t really know where we are from.
The Amaryllis: Now Available!
Last summer was beautiful, which means the Amaryllises have had a great opportunity to grow and therefore, the quality of this year’s flower bulbs is simply stunning.
The Daffodil makes me happy
It is not only the cheerful flower, who is one of the first to bloom every year, who brings me happiness. The very same daffodils have also brought me heart warming friendships and acquaintances.
What To Plant In The Garden Next Autumn?
The busy times are almost over. It’s time to think about what to plant in the garden this season.
Flower Bulbs with Special Names
