The Pentecost Burner. Ask a bulb grower what a Pentecost Burner is and there's a good chance he'll answer, "Not good, it costs a lot of bulbs."

No time. I still need to do this, I still need to do that. Especially in spring, when everything bursts into bloom and visitors travel from far and wide to admire our daffodils, it often feels...

Let me get the most important message out right away: The last day to order your summer-blooming flowers is coming up. May 25 will be the last day to get them.

This newsletter is all about the Fluwel Experience. A nice name for a day behind the scenes at Fluwel. It started out as a spontaneous idea. And just as spontaneously, we put it on the website...

It is me, Lian, again! In a previous newsletter, I took you along with me during a spring work day at Fluwel. I told you how my days are never the same during this time of year, so I wanted to do t...

I hope you are having a good weekend! Carlos is still very busy, so you will be hearing from me again this week, but don’t worry, there is a lot happening in Burgervlotbrug at the moment. One of th...

It’s finally time, they are ready to be ordered: the special Daffodils from our own nursery. Take a moment to be delighted by everything this year has to offer—the Daffodil has so much to show you!

It doesn’t get any better than having your very own hobby-greenhouse in your backyard. Every day, I get to spend a couple of hours with my Amaryllises. Each and every one of them seem to be doing t...
