By Greenhouse Grower staff|January 11, 2012

Under the name Breeders’ Finest, Anthura, Van den Bos Flowerbulbs, Corn. Bak and Fides will present the following pot plants:

Viva Calandiva
With a flowering umbel and lots of available colors, Viva Calandiva ensures that consumers can enjoy the plant for a long time. It keeps on growing imperturbable. In 2012, you simply cannot get around Calandiva. At the IPM, we will also present a special flower trial showing the Calandiva performance on the market, compared with other decorative Kalanchoes.

Roselily – a double-flowering lily
Roselily is a collective term for a unique series of double-flowering lilies with exceptionally positive characters. Roselily’s do not have the heavy spice scent of most other lilies. Also, their flowers produce no pollen. When opened up, the flower resembles a rose. No wonder this series was named after two flowers: the rose and the lily.

Amaretti- A brand new Anthurium Scherzerianum with a curly twist
Amaretti is part of the Anthura flourish line as it has a distinguishable twisted spadix. The flowers of this variety have a sweet orange colour. The flowers not only dance above the bright green foliage, but also seem to be sprinkled with red confetti. Amaretti is most suitable for the 9 cm pot. With its small size, however, there are numerous possibilities with this plant.

‘Bromelia Botanica’
Bromeliads are a group of diverse organisms adapted to a number of climates. The leaves usually grow in a rosette. Many Bromeliads store water in the middle of their rosette. But, there are also Bromeliads, such as the perennial and grey-leaved Tillandsia, that only absorb water through the leaves and the succulent species in the desert.

‘Bromelia Botanica’ is a collection of the most beautiful and original non-crossed (botanical) Bromeliads. Various colours and appearances are available.
