Holland Trip - Olij Rosen

We also went to a rose grower while we were in Holland, and this place was even more amazing than the orchid grower! Well it was to me anyway, but then I have a bit of a soft spot for roses! The colours and size of the roses here are amazing - nothing like the standard roses you see in the supermarket. Grown exclusively for the floristry trade they show why you should go to a florist to get your flowers.

Holland Trip - Anco Pure Vanda

Whilst in Holland we visited an orchid grower - the flowers here were stunning. We got a guided tour of the greenhouses then a demonstration on some of the products they offer. I got to model one of their magnetic buttonholes, and the guide let me keep it at the end so I wore it for the rest of the day!

Holland Trip - FloraHolland

I went to Holland last weekend for a college trip. I took a lot of photos, so I thought I would break them down into the different places we visited. The first was FloraHolland, which is an absolutely incredible place! This is the biggest flower auction in the world, and it shows because the place is massive. We stood and watched the workers whizzing around on their scooter things for a long, long time - it was mesmerising. This place is definitely worth a visit if you're in the area, even if you don't like flowers that much.

Easter teacup

I had an order this week for an Easter themed teacup, hence the Easter eggs in this arrangement! The muscari is starting to come out in the garden as well so I incorporated some of them, as well as the little yellow flowers although I'm not quite sure what they are.
