Best Of Amsterdam #09 – Orchids & Lilies

Posted on February 29, 2012 by

Another favorite of mine, and this time again not food related.

Bloomings on Elandsgracht is a shop specialized in orchids plants and flowers, oriental lilies and special tropical flowers. The owner, Henry den Neijsel, is wild about Vanda orchids which ‘grow’ on air and the surrounding moisture. But indoors you have to ‘help’ the plant getting its water. Next to the flowers they have a large range of vases in glass and earthenware.
