Beautifull, And congratulations with your first prize in the show this year. I already wondered if you were going to show us some of it.
Regards, Hein
Phyllis,
The Pennings may be too modest to say but the won the top Award the Golden Bulb Flower Award I think it is called. This year the prize was a model replica of the Rialto Bridge. I think they had Best Hyacinth and second Best Daffodil in show (Border Beauty) – I I don’t know what all else. Just maybe Jan or Joost or Dick will tell us?

I don’t know the Dutch Language, but gather from the following sentence: Alles draait uiteindelijk om de prijs der prijzen: de Gouden Bolbloem. That there is a "prize of prizes" which some branch of the Pennings family often takes: see list following of year and winner. Winnaar Gouden Bolbloem JaarWinnaar 2000 Van der Veek/Weijers 2001 C.G. van den Berg & Zn 2002 J.S. Pennings 2003 C.G. van den Berg & Zn 2004 J.S. Pennings 2005 Vof Th. A. Pennings & Zn 2006 Vof Th.

Brian,
I suspected as much! How could they not with such a beautiful display. Jan once told me that Ans designs the displays and they carry out her theme. So; again Congratulations all!!
