The Lily has a strong character that needs to be kept under control
Few flowers are as diverse as the Lily in their symbolism: love, femininity, mortality and purity are but a few examples. Lilies have a powerful aura of purity and virginity - even the ancient Greeks and Romans adorned their brides with beautiful crowns of lilies due to their symbolism.

The Lily is best known for the white-flowered variety, however the genus Lilium now counts over a hundred species. The plant is available in a wide range of colours and shapes from red, orange, white, pastels, trumpet-shaped flowers, vertical flowers, horizontal flowers and star-shaped flowers. The flowers can vary in size from 7 to 25 centimetres, and while some are fragrant, others are scentless.

This Year Javado will celebrate its 30^th anniversary. Starting as a small company Javado now has grown into a company where 50 persons are working hard every day to help florists, wholesalers and garden centers in Europe to sell the most beautiful and special plants. A unique concept that provides the customers a reliable and swift supply of the most extensive and differentiated plant assortment anywhere available. This concept is unique and also the reason why 1600 plant loving customers choose for Javado.

We’d like to celebrate this special occasion together with our customers. We’ll have throughout 2012, next to our special day offers and product specials, 30 anniversary offers, which will be very competitively priced!

Beaucarnea symbolises unbending strength
A Beaucarnea is a forceful and strong plant, demonstrating that ‘what you see is what you get’. It is a staunch toughie that you can rely on and trust and is one of the real stalwarts of the plant kingdom. It asks a little, but gives a lot, reason enough to crown this characteristic plant with its broad base and the striking head of long, curly leaves as the Houseplant of the Month for January.

Slowly, but surely and perseveringly, the Beaucarnea grows and grows. This imperturbable plant lets nothing upset it and is one of the main reasons why a Beaucarnea is often given as a gift to first-year students or to people moving to a new home because it is a symbol of unbending strength and can take being knocked.

Louis Kester heeft de afgelopen 3 jaar plantenexporteur Javado door moeilijke tijden geloodst. In oktober 2011 heeft Westland Bloemen Export BV een meerderheidsbelang genomen in Javadoplant.

Louis Kester heeft jaren aan het roer gestaan van deze onderneming en dit nu overgedragen aan Evert Thielen van Westland Bloemen Export. In goed overleg en harmonie is besloten om afscheid van elkaar te nemen. Javado bedankt Louis voor zijn enorme inzet voor Javado en wenst hem veel succes in zijn verdere carrière.
