A private grower, or a commercial one?

I know of Cactusflower in Rumst. But that is a commercial grower.

Maybe you are referring to the collection of Van Hoofstadt, in Wijnegemen, near Antwerpen? That is a private collection, but that collection has been broken up five years ago after this death.
