Check out all the Valentine flowers in Aalsmeer seen by me, Peter van Delft, on the markets in the Netherlands, the world's largest display of flowers and plants.

Every day I look around at trader Barendsen Flowers at the Royal Flora Holland Aalsmeer, the world's largest flower auction. With an auction of around 34,5 million flowers and plants a day, I like to spot novelties and special products that are new and/or just coming in production. This week, number 6, we are heading towards Valentine. So, no red roses!  I start with the toppings from Vip Roses
