Look at Beautiful Holland & more on the Lily Industry





HOLLAND & SKYLINE FLOWER GROWERS - 2nd Video

Have you seen the beautiful country of Holland? If not, we give you a look at what we saw on our journey and a closer look at the lily industry.

In this video, we talk with Emiel van Tongerlo of Zabo Plant. It's a bulb distributing company that works closely with Skyline and is located in Holland. "We are just a nice industry of lilies. I like enjoying the flowers so I guess we need to bring that emotion to the whole world," said van Tongerlo.

We at Skyline agree and give you a snapshot of what we saw and it includes windmills, the old fashioned ones and new ones. We also saw Amsterdam's amazing canal and downtown as well as gorgeous beaches and waterways. But of course, it's known for its incredible flowers.

"The reason we grow so many flowers here is the combination between the soil and the climate. We have a very mild climate because we are close to the sea," said van Tongerlo.

In fact, about 20 percent of Holland is located below sea level.

He goes on to say, "The main thing is the soil which bulbs like. If you go back some years, there was a really small assortment of lilies. Now, by breeding the last 20 years people are able to have all types of lilies. Those without smell, bicolor types, good reds for Christmas, good whites for Christmas, orange for Fall, pink for Spring and so all kinds of colors for every event.

Skyline works closely with lily breeders and bulb distributors to produce the highest quality flowers. But to make sure you get the freshest flowers in America, we grow them in California.
