Remarks from the Weekly KAVB Flower Show - Lisse

[Lvandelft]

a few dahlias:

Dahlia Summer Beauty                                 
Dahlia Sweet Nathalie   

[Lvandelft]

and finally a named helenium, in my eyes not really different from older forms and
a seedling with good shape and distinctive colour
                   
Helenium Autumn Fire                                   
Helenium  seedling

[Maggi Young]

Dahlia 'Sweet Nathalie' lives up to her name and I agree that the Helenium seedling is a good form. ....

but, more important than that  - this thread has reached its one hundredth page  .. and has been read over eighty-two and a half thousand times!



 Quite an example of the popularity of bulbs, wouldn't you agree? And of the fine way in which Luit brings us these reports from Lisse.

                         Bravo Luit!
                                                     

[Luc Gilgemyn]

I couldn't agree more Maggi !
A tremendous achievement, Luit !!  Hartelijk gefeliciteerd ! 

[David Nicholson]

Well done Luit and many thanks. Here's to the next 100 pages

[Brian Ellis]

Luit, thank you for all your hard work, if you ever wonder whether it is worth doing just look at the number of viewings!
Some nice Eucomis there, a bit ahead of mine as yet!
My goodness 82,500 + who would have thought it when you first started?
Many thanks

[Armin]

Hello Luit,
100 pages - a moment to sink in and to thank you for your outstanding contributions here and never ending passion for plants.

Your knowledge is unbeatable and irreplaceable - for me you are a living biota dictionary with photo evidences
My best wishes to you and Vroni

Both, please stay in good health for a long time!

Luit, may we all echo Armin's perfectly worded sentiments?  Many thanks.

[Casalima]

Fabulous achievement, Luit! I certainly appreciate your photos, even if I have kept this opinion to myself  Keep up the good work!

Well done and Thank You, Luit. Keep up the good work!

[Lvandelft]

Dear friends, I hardly know what to say about so many nice comments, but it makes me happy to know that you and many others still enjoy my reports.

100 Not Out

Almost feeling like a famous Dutch football player who made this last year when scoring his 100st for Arsenal 
But I must say that I scored these 100 not all myself though. The many comments might count many pages as well.

Your knowledge is unbeatable and irreplaceable - for me you are a living biota dictionary with photo evidences

About Armin’s comment I must say that this is rather overstated. My knowledge is comparing with so many other forumists  rather limited and when I started these reports about 3 ½ years ago I knew very little about bulbs, because all my life I grew perennials and alpines as a profession. So I am still learning and at my age it’s of great help to know where to find the things when I once again forgot them
I learned a lot from great plant breeders and growers in the past and know that one never can copy their skills but the most important lesson is to use your eyes.
Anyway:  I do it my way

Cheers to you all!

[Lvandelft]

I forgot to mention that the many reactions in the first year encouraged us to visit the England and the D.W in Scotland and in this way met some of you personally which enriched our life so much 

[Lvandelft]

More Dahlia again this week and they are so nice arranged that I had to make some more pics of them.
