It was also very nice meeting you Luit. We had about a 1000 visitors today, also because of the incredible good weather. For next year it will be a weekend.

Gerard, how wonderful that you had so many visitors.
I have a request, however..... by next year, you really must have a sweater with nice snowdrops on ! Your one with snowflakes is good, but snowdrops would be better for business, don't you think??  ;)

Great to see your son keen on bulbs, too! How old is Sam?

Good evening Thomas,

He is almost 8 years old and already recognizes single ones from double ones from a distance.

Gerard, keep his interest warm. Maybe one day he will search for special Galanthus with my son
who also has a good eye for different plants. He found a green-spottet-outer-petal before I saw
it in a local garden center (9 years).

It is very nice seeing him already explaining the difference between single and double to people who didn't even know there are also double galanthusses.
