A feeding station for processing bulbous flowers comprises a conveyor unit with suspension elements provided at discrete mutual distances and at least one feeding unit (3) with a guiding mechanism (4) for guiding, for instance by hand, flowers suspended in the guiding mechanism (4) with the bulbs upward to the conveyor unit and to take over the flowers therein in this position. Below the guiding mechanism (4) an actuator (12) is provided to place the bulbous flowers in the suspension elements (1) of the conveyor unit while seizing the stems. Preferably, a suspension element (1) is provided with a lock, which, dining the takeover of bulbous flowers in a suspension element (1), is released for the time required to affect the takeover of the flower in the suspension element (1).

The invention claimed is: 1. A feeding station for processing bulbous flowers, comprising a conveyor unit with suspension elements provided at discrete mutual distances and at least one feeding unit with a guiding mechanism for guiding, for instance by hand, flowers suspended in the guiding mechanism with the bulbs upward to the conveyor unit and to take over the flowers therein in this position, characterized in that below the guiding mechanism an actuator is provided so as to be able to place the bulbous flowers in the suspension elements of the conveyor unit while seizing the stems, characterized in that means are provided to determine that there is a flower near the takeover location at the end of the guiding mechanism, and that, furthermore, the actuator comprises a pushing element and an operating means engaging this, while, when there is a flower near the takeover location and as soon as a free suspension element has come before the takeover location, the flower is placed in the suspension element by means of the operating means engaging the pushing element. 2. A feeding station according to claim 1, characterized in that the actuator is also provided with guiding elements to bring and keep, during a pushing movement in the direction of the conveyor unit, the end of the pushing element below the space of movement of the flowers in the guiding mechanism and to bring, during a refractive movement, the end of the pushing element at the side of this space to a condition of rest located there. 3. A feeding station according to claim 1, characterized in that the means or determining that there is a flower near the takeover location are formed by a detector arranged below the guiding mechanism. 4. A feeding station according to claim 3, characterized in that a computer is provided by means of which a free suspension element is activated for the takeover of the flower as soon as a flower has been observed at the takeover location. 5. A feeding station for processing bulbous flowers, comprising a conveyor unit with suspension elements provided at discrete mutual distances and at least one feeding unit with a guiding mechanism for guiding, for instance by hand, flowers suspended in the guiding mechanism with the bulbs upward to the conveyor unit and to take over the flowers therein in this position, characterized in that below the guiding mechanism an actuator is provided so as to be able to place the bulbous flowers in the suspension elements of the conveyor unit while seizing the stems, characterized in that a suspension element is provided with a lock, which, during the takeover of a bulbous flower in a suspension element, is released for the time required to effect the takeover of the flower in the suspension element, and further characterized in that the suspension element is provided with two retaining parts leaving a central opening clear, which can be moved from and towards each other, and that an operating means controlled by a computer is provided so as to move apart the retaining parts as soon as a flower has been observed at the takeover location, and that the suspension element is further provided with spring means forming the lock so as to move the retaining parts towards each other again after a fixed time, during which time a flower can be placed between the retaining parts.
