MAKING OF
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀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.

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
We are incredibly proud that Marc Vlemmix has been nominated for the Innovation Award of the Nederlandse Dansdagen Maastricht, the festival
where the ‘Oscars’ of Dutch dance are presented each year. This nomination is not only a wonderful recognition for Marc,
but also for the entire team of Marc Vlemmix Dance, who have contributed with so much dedication and creativity.
Nominated for Innovation Award Nederlandse Dansdagen
This year, the Innovation Award focuses on creators who develop work for people who, due to an intellectual or physical disability,
psychological vulnerability, or other reasons, do not naturally come into contact with dance.
Fingers crossed: the announcement and award ceremony will take place on Friday, October 3rd.

FATAL FLOWERS
Our new collection Fatal Flowers is created in tradition of Nature morte. Mysterious and dark like a Film Noir. Wildly attractive and seductive like a Femme Fatale. With flowers that also have a dark side behind their beautiful face.
HELEÎN
Even if the cold ground is covered by soft white snowflakes and frost is rising from below, Hellebore is standing unaffected
with its golden yellow crown proud.
WITTE MORGEN
During the making of the collection “Fatal Flowers”, with mainly colorful but dark works, we sometimes needed the opposite.
No “fifty shade of grey”, but fifty shades of white. The tension between the white eternity and the pure now.
