I am very happy that I can visit my dutch friend Hendrik Jan whenever I wish. Always he has much brugs,like Monika,lol.
I like to show you a picture from his nursery.
Dreamland
I see just enough room for a cot for me:)
Now there is more than a couple there! Beautiful sight!
tiG, in this greenhouse we already have had so much fun,Philippe and Nathalie do know it,too ( friends from France).
Come in with a cot..we will feed you with milk and cooked bananas:)
Ludger, can I have a banana sandwich?? (do y'all eat those there? try one with peanut butter:)
WOW!!!! That is impressive. For an addict like me that is equivalent to an alcoholic falling into a vat at the brewery. I would never want to leave. Glug, glug, brug, brug :-@
Smile, tiG,why do you know about the peanut butter...not to get in D but the best you can buy in NL...come in and we will have nice Dinner together.
Padre,lol,that´s the reason why I visit Hendrik and Monika very often.We always have to chatt about brugs or we have a swap.The beer I always have here when getting home save.
Dreamland I said: One day a meeting there...
OH MY!! Truly awesome! Have you got any more pictures? Like lots more? Is that huge row of trees Hibiscus?
Not shure, should be Hibiscus, he is breeding them.
I have tons of pictures from Hendrik´s nursery
one more
that is just amazing!!
How I would love to see that. Thank you, you just brightened up my day. I wish he shipped to us, I emailed him once before and he said no. You're a fortunate man Ludger to have friends who own a big cookie jar like that. And to be such good friends with Monika, what more could you ask for?
Smile, nothing I could ask for because I have found so much and great friends in CA and USA,too.
Monika,Hendrik,Philippe ( from France )and I do know each other,together with Dave and BGI we are such a great family.
Well said. I feel the same way.
Oh my gosh......that is amazing. Did you all see the baskets hanging up above that have the self waterers in them? That is a really cool thing that has sure helped the nursery business a lot. I would love to see a place like this sometime. I only see local nurseries that have basically perennials and annuals growing. To see a nursery full of tropical plants would probably get me addicted to another kind of plant or two. Just AWESOME!!
can you imagine owning something like that?It would be a dream come true!
thanks for sharing--never seen anything like that--wish it was mine--looked like heaven to me!!!
WOW!! I've died and gone to Heaven! What a sight, and yes, those were hibiscus in there.
That pink hibiscus looks like the one called "Painted lady" in the USA :-)
Ludger, what neat pictures of your friends nursery. I agree with Hibiscus I would think I had died and gone to heaven to, to be able to visit a nursery like that. Nothing like that in my area. Donna
ohhh wow Ludger--they would have to drag me out kickin n screamin.....
I'm with you playsndirt, how could you possibly decide what to buy? I'd want it all, in every color.
Why buy any,just live in it!!!!!
Wow! That is absolutely incredible! Now that is Brug heaven.
Another just-to-dream-of landscape. What a playground.
That is a impressive set up! It's so neat and tidy! I'd never leave once I entered it. How far do you live from there Ludger?
Is Hendrik Gommer's nursery still open? He doesn't seem to be responding to my e-mail!
Ludger,
A true dream land indeed you have posted. Those seed trays look very much like the seed trays I use to plant my seeds in. Never thought of using them for cuttings, but most excellent.
Kristy, I have about a 5o minutes drive to Hendrik Jan.
Bruno, of course Hendrik´s Nursery is open, they are working like crazy.
Eric, you gave a good hint to me: Next time I will take more pictures about gardening here, my be it will be interisting for all of you.
I'm confused, is this Gommer's in the picture?
Ok, Thanks Ludger! Maybe I'll try once more!
Eric, I saw some kind of trays in the garden center today, but those was smaller than these. I think they are called plant plugs and used for sowing and growing seedlings. One tray measured 1˝ foot or a bit more. I am not sure, but there was about 10 x 10 plugs/ small pot holes in each tray. Now, I know that Cala was experimenting with rooting both tiny cuttings and larger cuttings at 2-3 # lengths as well. As we have only small room here for making cuttings it would be nice to know, if such trays is worth the wile, because when the roots are formed they will need to be potted better up real soon?
Yes Bonnie, it´s Hendrik Jan Gommer´s nursery.

He is the hybridyzer from Kleine Aap ( Little Monkey).
oh, okay. it's a gorgeous nursery that's for sure!
when you get time, send me that picture of Little Monkey please?
Sorry, I forgot to send, will do in some minutes.
What I could do with a GH this big.:)
Well, I'd want it to come equipped with all the pots, full of course. :-)
Roflol, I mean the Monkeypicture to Bonnie.........
