"That" picture of Arie

09-02-2004 20:21 In case you were wondering, "that" picture of Arie showing his amazement at a yellow Delphinium was taken at Mark's nursery.

By Miriam Young

This picture was taken in the summer of 2003. At the time there were literally a handful of the yellow flowered plants growing in the Kebra hybridising area.

It will take a few more years of growing and observation before this is ready to be produced on a commercial scale.

Biography

Local Boy Made Good
By Miriam Young
Mark van Kesteren’s story is a simple, yet inspiring tale of achievement earned through hard work, learning from the master and using a little imagination to progress.

The Nursery

Kebra nursery
By Miriam Young
Kebra is jointly owned by Mark van Kesteren and Patrick Brama. Together they look after many new perennial varieties during the vital early production stages.

Breeding work

New possibilities from Kebra
By Miriam Young
Being so involved in the growing of new varieties, it’s only natural that Mark and Patrick should be curious as to how well they can do at creating a few of their own, so in 1999 they set up a breeding program for Delphiniums and Campanulas.
