Last of my reasons for liking Holland soooo much.




Category: All things Dutch. | Posted: Fri May 19, 2006 4:08 pm

The Dutch plants are all approximately 1/3 of the price that I can buy them here in Britain. It's just as well we own a 4x4 Renault Kangoo because it comes back loaded with plants each year. The customs officers now just roll their eyes and grin at me saying, "Bye Bye, see you again next year!!!

Some of last years booty:

only around a 1/4 of what we brought back. What's that you say? I'm a plantaholic!! Yes and extremely proud of it!!! LOL

aghhh I am too late. No picture. You all up there in the north can zzip from country to country. I guess the grass is always greener on the other side. Nice excuse the price tho.

I do not know where to reply, but thanks for the URL to the photo. Those kniphoffias are the brightest that I have seen. Gorgeous.
Thanks. It is absolutely quiet here in this small town on a Sunday night. No sound of a party.
which reminds me that the best to wish for is peace!
