⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Just when you think you've seen everything the Helleborus has to offer, you come across this stunning deep purple, almost black variety:
the Orientalis Blue Lady. This hardy perennial blooms in late winter to early spring, bringing a touch of drama to the garden
when most other plants are still asleep. It practically begs for a mysterious, dark-themed creation. Blue Lady is in progress.

Blue Lady

new work

Our new work is called Dahlia & Paeonia. Although the Paeonia originally comes from China, both have a Greek connection.
Like Hêra and Hélena, they are Greek girls’ names. Moreover, the name of the peony also originates from Greek mythology.

Dahlia & Paeonia

The peony is named after a student of Asclepius, the Greek God of medicine and healing. This student was called Paeon. He discovered the medicinal power of the roots of the Paeonia, with its hemostatic and antipyretic effect. The Dahlia, however, like ‘her sisters’, does not play a role in Greek mythology. No profound thoughts here, Dahlia simply means flower, which in our opinion is a very beautiful flower!
This beautiful vase is from the collection of Bloemenatelier Krijn Verboom in Rotterdam.

Dance

Marc Vlemmix proudly received the 2025 Innovation Award from the Dutch Dance Festival in Maastricht (The Dutch Oscar of the dance).
This year, the award focused on creators who contribute to a more inclusive society. By creating work for or with people who,
due to physical disabilities or psychological vulnerability, might not easily come into contact with dance.

Winner of the 2025 Innovation Award Nederlandse Dansdagen

An excerpt from the jury report:
The jury is deeply impressed by the authenticity of this artist. Marc is developing a radically personal dance language that challenges every expectation about the body. His work is unsettling, confrontational, and profoundly moving, not because it stems from limitation, but because it seeks freedom beyond those boundaries. The movements seem to speak from a different logic, a new vocabulary that calls for attention and openness, not for pity.
His dance language is not an illustration of illness, but a celebration of life and perseverance.

Moreover, Marc’s work transcends the personal. It reveals the vulnerability of humanity in all its facets and invites the audience to empathize with those who are different. A universal message, one that deserves to be seen and heard. The jury has therefore unanimously decided to award the Innovation Prize of the Dutch Dance Festival Maastricht to Marc Vlemmix. It is both a personal tribute to a creator who is more than ready to take the next step, and an encouragement to the cultural sector to make a greater contribution to an inclusive society through dance.
