This year Flamingo Holland will be trialing the second generation Rose Lilies. Fabiola and Belonica are the two varieties of the first hour. For 2013, there are good amounts available of these two varieties. Fabiola and Belonica are used as cut flowers but as potted plants as well.
They can have as many as 20 or more petals. Flowers have no pollen and have only a light scent! One of the biggest advantages of Rose Lilies is the vase life. As a cut flower it can last as long as 20+ days in the vase.
Our mother company, Van den Bos is growing Freesia corms in New Zealand to provide fresh quality Freesia corms starting August 2012. Last week, our Freesia expert visited the Freesia fields in New-Zealand. The crops are looking great, weather conditions are very good and the roots are snow white and core sound. The growing will continue for the next couple of months in good condition.
From April 2012 the Freesia bulbs will be harvested, cleaned and sorted. The first containers will arrive in Holland in June 2012. Van den Bos will prepare the new fresh harvested stocks very carefully resulting in new top quality Freesia at the end of August 2012! Read more »
So far the Lily crop is growing very well this year in Chile. We had a dry period just now, but rain was finally there last week so we’re happy about that. We have all means for irrigation but nothing beats a real rain!
We had warmer temperatures earlier but they went back to normal for this time of the year. Warmer weather is important for Orientals to grow a quality bulb. Asiatics and LA Hybrids are less sensitive to what the temperatures were during the crop. Read more »
