On friday 31. october, I went on a one-day trip to Aalsmeer in the Netherlands; Aalsmeer is a lovely town, situated in the south of Amsterdam, just eastside to the Schipol airport! I am, or to say it correctly, was a customer of Michel Paul for about 20 years now; Michel, at the age of 78, decided to stop his nursery activity by the end of this year!! He will nevertheless continue his other orchid activities, be it lectures, travels or consulting! So we will have the possibility to meet and listen to him on dutch and international orchid events!
Of course one of my objectives was to do some last ?? shopping ( but one never knows) in Michels nursery, and to spend some nice time with him, his wife, and 2 of his grand-children.
I want to show you some pictures of these lovely people and their plants:
Slippers:
Michel and his grand-daughter:
the young people: Agathe and Louis
and the older ones: Michel and JeanLux
this henry went home with me:
and the spiking sister of this Paph Lochristiense (Paph Harrisianum X hookerae)
I am esp. excited for thes flowers of Paph eliottianum:
Other plants such as spiking Maudiae, callosum, and mature Delrosi, parishii, insigne, Lord Derby, Aladin, as well as phrag schlimii wanted absolutely to keep me company on my way home.
I would like to wish all the best to Leni and Michel Paul, a lot of leasure time for their travels and, above all, a strong health. I am about sure we shall meet somewhere one of these days, Months?!
