Eustoma Farda apricot

This Eustoma distinguishes itself by fringed flowers, jagged so to speak. Later in the season Farda yellow and Farda salmon are added, as well as other colours. The sustainability is excellent, a vase life up to 13 days. The supply is very limited, there are no large numbers at the auction, there is only one breeder who will auction them.

Lilie Capoterra

Lilie Capottera is a new orange LA lilie. The colour is dark orange (derived from terra), and it has a fine branch with large calyces. The number of buttons are 5 +, the grower is Evers/Hasselt, and the period that they are supplied is until week 40 in 2010.
