Between the running lines to put together the bouquets of Bergamotte , Bloom & Wild , and Bloomon , a section is reserved for Bergamotte ’s blood line of plants . That shows the efficient style of ordering . " We keep a little stock but are never sold out . For each month , we make a forecast .

For instance , no incorrect prices , types , or mountain sizes can be order . "
Flexible cooperation with growersFor growers , it took some getting used to working this way at first , but now it is o.k. for both .
