No Marc,
I got them from my private grower/seller,Coen Ceunen.
Had not much now,but in a month or so he got more.
The Sanguinelli was the only one he got.
He lives in Baarlo near the city of Venlo.

Very nice garden, thanks for the link. Two years ago I spent two weeks in Holland with the American Ivy Society, touring some of the public gardens, but mostly visiting private gardens that were not open to the general public. My last stop was the Aalsmeer Flower Auction, the world largest flower auction. The size of the Aalsmeer Flower Auction is beyond amazing. 195 American football fields will fit inside the building. Amazing. The Dutch people we visited were very friendly, it was a good time.. - Millet (619-) |

Very nice! Paradisi (whats it called again in dutch/flemmish? Pompelmoes?) are very nice fruits! Will grow them myself one day.
Did you turn a greenhouse into a greenhouse/semi-office? Looks very nice!
edit: the 'pompelmoes' turns out to be maxima. Hmm didn't know that a grapefruit and a 'pompelmoes' were different. |

That's quite a lot already!
Aren't you afraid that your plants might become too large in time? That would be my worst nighmare! I now have about 10 plants plus a number of seedlings. There's room enough as long as I can put them in the garden, but during the winter months I have to be able to put them inside, and that's when trouble starts... and I still want MORE plants! _________________ - Marc

That looks very nice. How do you regulate the temperature? Or is it isolated enough to keep a nice temp during the winter? |
