Remarks from the Weekly KAVB Flower Show - Lisse

[Brian Ellis]

Some very colourful exhibits there Luit, and I am sure the scent of the Eucomis was overpowering

[Maggi Young]

I thought that last week's display was the best we've seen but it seems that those folks in Lisse are determined to shock me again with the quality of display.  Of course, Luit's very fine photos are a great help, eh? !!

Stunning range of plants again - I can only marvel at those Eucomis.

Brian, it's good to know someone has a bit of  compassion with the photographer and/or the members of the jury

The good thing is that the temps in the hall are kept at 15 C, therefore we hardly notice if a cat has passed by ....
Besides that are the breeders are making efforts to find cultivars without the unpleasant smelling!

Maggi, it's every Monday again a surprise what is brought in to the show but summer time gives always lots of colours.
Alas it's just getting more of a problem these days that not many growers want to take the time to participate at the shows.

Some huge Lilium vases were placed next to a smaller Dahlia group, but I personally prefer
the dahlias during this time of year...

Dahlia - Lilium                               
Dahlia Little Sun                             
Dahlia Chiara

What is since many years in culture known as Eucomis pole-evansii should now be a subspecies of Eucomis pallidiflora?

Here one pic of the normally cultivated Eucomis pole-evansii next to a flower of an imported Eucomis pallidiflora from South-Africa:
