Dipping a toe into the Dutch Auction
Monday, May 7, 2012 at 3:31PM
Bloemenveiling in Aalsmeer. It's the world's largest flower auction house where approximately 20 million flowers from all over the world are auctioned every day, Monday to Friday morning beginning at 6 AM/oops, we missed that time frame. It's proximity to Schiphol Airport, just a stone's throw away, is critical for speeding flowers to distant destinations each day.
I found the following fun/fascinating/educational video that brings all of us (including me) up to speed on our recent visit.
