Remarks from the Weekly KAVB Flower Show - Lisse

[Maggi Young]

Anne - it cannot be a coincidence that one of her films from the 50s was entitled (in English) The Woman of Romaine

 Apropos very little:Many moons ago  I was reviewing an art exhibition which included a huge painting of a lettuce, suspended in mid air - it was called "Flying Romaine" - I nominated it as the ghastliest picture in the show.

[Lvandelft]

and finally a picture of a group tulips in vases.
These tulips are during the season brought in for so called tests to see how long they keep on the vase.
The flowers shown here were send in last week on Monday, still in bud like people can buy them in flowershops or supermarket.
On the picture the result one week later:

Tulipa test

Luit,
those "pottulips" look like oompa-loompas compared to the cutflowers!
Do they retain their short stature when planted in the garden?
cheers
