Kalmthout snowdropweekend in Belgium.

Yesterday I was at the snowdropweekend at Kalmthout in Belgium. A very well organised event with a sale, talks by Stefan Vidts and John Grimshaw and a very nice exposition.

It was great to meet friends from the VRVforum and to be able to talk to Stefan Vidts again and ofcourse to meet John Grimshaw.
We had a nice lunch with Loes and her husband and Andre Bourgogne.
And finaly met Wim Boens.
I was able to buy G. 'Sweet Alice'. I am very happy about this.
This was the start of our snowdrop season. Thursday we will go to the Boschhoeve to meet more people and buy a few more snowdrops maybe?

I love the Snowdrop Medallions Lina, you can always trust the Belgians to do something wonderfully artisic with their flowers and plants. I lived in Ohain/Lasne for 15yrs and miss the flair of floral art.

Good to see the Speakers being well supplied with cake- that is VERY important!

Rika has a snowdrop hat! Fantastic!    I  really enjoyed seeing the film of her garden this morning - I like he garden even better now I see she has this hat!

It's just a shame Lina forgot to photograph herself,...oh wait....there she is, together with Rika

Perfect!!    Thank you Wim. Did you enjoy your day?

Yes, it was a wonderful day. Met a lot of people from the VRV-forum and John Grimshaw of course...a bit chilly in the sales-area though, luckily Cathy let me visit the talks, so I could warm up a bit in the afternoon. Still not converted to a hardcore-galanthophile, though

Wim, if you look closely, you can find me in picture 'Expo 5'.
But only in the background. I am a little shy.

Ah, indeed, a double reflected Lina

I thought perhaps Lina had a twin?!!

Jacqueline, this exposition is so nicely done. You should see it in the flesh. These scenes looked like fairies were living there. So most beautifull.
