At the HYP*MOL status meeting between 25 and 27 March, so-called “hypercinths” were distributed to TRR members. Challenge: whose hypercinth is the most beautiful after one year will be honoured. Not so easy, as the life cycle of the hypercintus is very similar to that of the hyacinth. HYP*MOL is now also available on LinkedIn!… Read more: “Hypercinth” challenge proclaimed + HYP*MOL-LinkedIn launch
