Every month, lily grower Bredefleur puts a well-known floral designer in the spotlight as a Bredefleur Friend to talk about his or her passion for the profession, love for flowers, and the inspiration that lilies give. Of course, this is also a wonderful opportunity for the designer to show some skills in a beautiful flower arrangement in which those lilies are incorporated. This month the famous Belgian Master Florist Max Hurtaud is Bredefleur Friend.

"Give the lilies space to open up in an arrangement so you can enjoy them to the fullest."
Tip From Max
