Tips from our buying department 43

Fleura likes to offer you some tips from our own buying department, these are products that are currently available or will be soon. Ask your sales representative for product availability.

Lilium Oriental Gracia

Supplier ‘Cooperflowers.nl’ brings 1500 stems a week at the auction, it is a very exclusive lily with a white/pink flower.

Nerine Belladonna

The Nerine Belladonna is a group of hybrids between Nerine Bowdenii and Amarillis Belladonna, with the underlying strength of the long life of the Nerine Bowdenii and beautiful large flower buds of the Amarillis Belladonna. The flowering of this product will take place from July to November. The Nerine Belladonna is prepared so that the flower will open nicely. For good flowering it is important to buy at the correct maturity stage, with visible colour and the skin around the flower may have opened. The optimum storage temperature of Nerine is between 8 and 10°C.

New Gerbera's

Since last week we get some new types of germini and gerbera directly from the grower, we have them exclusively for Fleura-Metz.  

Germini Glow, the colour is orange/yellow with a black heart.

Gerbera Opinio, the colour is pink with a black heart.

Rosa Miss Piggy+

Grower 'De Singel' is known for the Rose Passion, which he auctioned last week for the last time. The grower has chosen a new species, 'Miss Piggy +', and to introduce it he has also undertaken an initiative where you can win an Apple Ipad.
