In 1985 there was 5000 square meter greenhouse to build and we moved slowly to the lilies and we started to grow lily Connecticut King and later lily Enchantmentthere. A year later we were in speciosum rubrum as the No. 10 and Uchida. It also came when the first sons in business Adri and Piet. Then there were 5 people on the horticultural business.
