The Alstroemeria surprises during the VBW spring tour

EA_VBW_Karolien

For the past two weeks, Every Alstroemeria was on stage during the VBW spring tours. Full of enthusiasm, Karolien Tesselaar, on behalf of the promotion committee, shared to hundreds of students and florists the story of the Alstroemeria and talked about the super powers of the flower.

Creative program

The tour consisted of an afternoon and evening program. In the afternoon, Karolien told students about the origins of the Alstroemeria, its characteristics and qualities, and the process in the greenhouse. Then it was time for the students to roll up their sleeves. During two workshops, they got to work making a partial bouquet and a bridal bouquet. During the evening program, the same format was applied to inspire the florists in the area.

The Alstroemeria as a wedding flower

Although the Alstroemeria is not immediately chosen as a wedding flower because of its closed bud, it was a nice challenge to use it. By putting the flower on warm water in time, it opens earlier and can be used very nicely in wedding arrangements. The students and florists gave free rein to their creativity, placing the flowers in oasis or taking the flowers apart and gluing them together bud by bud. The result? A diversity of creations, both in style and color. 

The superpowers of the Alstroemeria

During the workshops, participants discovered for themselves what the superpowers of the Alstroemeria are, namely:

  • Strong 
  • Multicolored
  • Surprisingly clean
  • Solid
  • Smiling magic
  • Lives happily ever after
