Today’s trend colour is 'living coral': a soft coral-red inspired by the underwater world. The Pantone Color Institute describes this colour as 'an animating and life-affirming coral hue with a golden undertone that energizes and enlivens with a softer edge. This colour embraces us with warmth and nourishment to provide comfort and buoyancy in our continually shifting environment'.
It’s all in the name. At Ammerlaan - The Green Innovator, everything revolves around being green. Green with their huge assortment – anything from alocasias to bromeliads and everything in between and beyond- but also green and innovative in the way they handle their business. In 2010, Ammerlaan was the very first floriculture company in the Netherlands to work with geothermal energy. Noviflora spoke with Dennis Smits about the company’s sustainable ambitions.
A colourful eye-catcher, this ultimate autumn flowering plant: always colourful and smothered in blooms. For patio, balcony or garden. Success guaranteed.
“Noviflora wants to do more than just supply plants and flowers. Our mission is to help our customers to capitalize on green,” explains marketing manager Gabrielle Fabbro. How is the company applying the Green Agenda to achieve this goal?
We see them everywhere on Instagram these days: smudge sticks! Of course, this trend goes way back, to a time far before the digital trend bubble. Smudge sticks are bundles of dried flowers and spices, and find their roots in Native American traditions. During the smudging ceremony, the bundle is lit and the resulting smoke is said to cleanse and purify spaces, objects and people, getting rid of any negative energies. The positive effects of smudging are well-known amongst many indigenous cultures.
A seaside home? This Hebe doesn’t mind salty air, and is a great match for gardens or balconies close to the shore. The plant will continue to bloom right up until the first frost and attracts bees and butterflies with her nectar-filled flowers.
Noviflora organizes a plant fair with outdoor plants on Wednesday August 21st 2019. We are pleased to invite you. This fair can be combined very well with a visit to Plantarium in Boskoop.
When other garden flowers start losing their petals, the Aster starts blooming, until far into autumn. With its beautiful, fresh green leaves and stems, the plant looks like a wildflower, with gorgeous, strikingly bright flowers.
The brighter the sun, the more flowers grow, and we’re happy that so many flowers are available again. One flower even more beautiful than the next. Besides the undisputed queen of summer, the sunflower, there are lots of other flowers that trigger that same happy summer feeling.
