Made yesterday a one day trip to the Netherlands, a.o., to visit the nursery of K. Wubben near Hilversum (for those who do not know him, perhaps remember some pages about him in Orchid fever E. Hansen Ch. 12). (==> http://www.orchidwubben.com/) Orchideeën Wubben is one of the major dutch orchid nurseries with a broad selection of species, among other Paphs, Phrags; I have 2 kovatchii seedlings from Koos, and a lot of other orchids.
At the occasion of the 50th anniversary, a 3 days event takes place this W-E, where, besides possibilities to visit Wubben nursery, a.o., his Daughter Rianne from Ryanne orchidées in France (http://www.orchideeryanne.com/) and Gerard Schmidt from Amazone Belgium (http://amazone-orchidees.skynetblogs.be/) exhibit (and sell) some interesting plants. Here some picts:
Koos Wubben
masdevallias and pleuros with some of the Wubben trophies in the background:
closer by:
Nearby Utrecht orchid club participated:
some blooms from G. Schmidt
malipo X hangianum
malipo X emersonii
charlesworthii
helenae ( a sister of this one, not spiking yet , went home with me):
I just want to wish Koos Wubben all the best for that anniversary, good health, and still another FEW years of presence as an active orchid professional.
