Who is Mijn Eigen Tulp?
|
| |
"As senior manager I [Paul Botman sr] started this company to form a bridge between the breeders and the growers of tulips. Next to these two professional stakeholders, there is also a role for private parties in this concept. Why is this possible? The breeder of a tulip variety is willing to sell it when it has around 300 kilo’s (660 pound), and tests have been conducted in order to perceive most features of the variety. Most tulip growers like to buy a new variety when there is around 8,000 kilos (over 17,000 pound). Mijn eigen Tulp bridges between the breeder and the grower.
After an intermediate period of around three to four years, renowded growers will continue to grow the new varieties."
What is the role of a private person?
A private person or company can buy around 300 kilo (660 pound) for a period of three to four years. He can name the tulip and can use the tulips for fun things (special occasions, promotions, etc). In these timeframe more tests will be conducted in order to offer varieties, which are suitable for commercial growing.

The big advantage of Mijn eigen Tulip is that it performs promotions, organizes shows, and conducts knowledge for several new varieties.
Paul Botman sr. has a lot of experience in these areas and can offer the right support. Anything is possible with the own tulip variety; most wishes of private persons can be granted.
When planned ahead of time, the tulip can be put to flowering year round.
