It's a greenhouse which futuristic design is inspired by palm houses and The Crystal Palace, but I always think of a fish bowl when I walk to it. The official opening was last Friday and Saturday. Unfortunately I couldn't be there, but it's a good reason to dedicate a post to this remarkable building with some original pictures.
The building has a land area of 12 ha. The company that owns this building is a world wide distributer of anthuriums. I've heard people say that the daily revenue is about 1 million euro.
The pictures on the wall of the The Crystal Palace are a cruel joke compared to the actual inside of the building. The actual inside is of course all about production and making things happen as efficient and as quick as possible.
Argh, I hate to talk about work when I'm home. Sure, it's a really cool place if you've never seen it before, but in the end it's just a big fish bowl.

Wow! It's a great place to make cool photos!
ReplyDeleteIs it possible to speed up the growth of anthuriums? (I hate these flowers, btw.)
The only thing I know is you must spray them with water once in a while, because the atmosphere here is usually too dry.
ReplyDeletePlease keep in mind I'm not really a grower or breeder. I can ask some people your question when I'm back at work.
