Plenty of Peonies During Pentecost

Nothing is as beautiful as a peony in bloom. They are of course garden plants but with enormous ornamental value. Peonies are truly beautiful in full bloom. An elegant and full flower in various colors. A peony can really get very old. According to tradition, even older than 100 years.

A colleague interview: Mike van den Eijkel, head buyer cut flowers

Since the outbreak of the coronavirus, the world has been turned upside down. Images of the flowers that were thrown away are still imprinted on our memories. Fortunately, flower and plant sales started up again fairly quickly and we are once more committed to offer our customers a beautiful range of prodcuts. Nevertheless, not everything is as it was before the corona crisis broke out. Much has changed, for you and for us. There is a shortage of some products and prices are on average higher than normal in this period. What is the reason for this? I discuss this with colleague Mike van den Eijkel, our head buyer of cut flowers.
