Wow, awesome plants and flowers!

I don't know what these mean...
"And i forgot "Stroopwafel", "Pindakaas" and of course "Frikandel"
But they don't sound like compliments!

I like Stroopwafel, I might use that myself. I can just see myself next time a driver cuts me off; "Hey, stroopwafel, use your signal next time!"

I'm really curious how you're going to pronounce that

at least here's the translation: a 'stroopwafel' is two cookies with some kind of thick syrup between it, 'pindakaas' is peanut butter but a different kind than the one you know, a 'frikandel' is a deep fried meat stick.
they are all dutch specialties.

please invite me when you're going to drive through holland, I have to be there when you call someone a stroopwafel!

LoL
TimN, kinda reminds me of the song that Tool did where he's yelling in German, a recipe for making cookies, yet sounds like he's imitating Hitler or something.

It's a blast.

wow, fantastic hybrids, I especially like the unikum (that red stripe on the petal is remarkable), kleine weisse and humkes röschen! did you cross these yourself?

o_frank_o · Post by **o_frank_o** » Thu Jun 03, 2010 6:48 am

Hi Arjen,

each bloom of 'Unikum' look different, that can be seen, if there are more than one bloom.

No, this year i do only a few 'basic' crossings that i have in my mind. Most of them we be with botanically trichocereus.

Best regards
Frank

Good stuff Frank. Do you know what plants were used to create the Hildewinteria Hybrid?

Unfortunally, no.

I searched yesterday via Google, no further information.
