agree  Marijke Mayer: I like the first part, however, veldbloemen zijn fieldflowers (one word)
5 hrs
  -> I disagree with the spelling of "fieldflowers" but "wildflowers" may be a better translation.

disagree  Evert DELOOF-SYS: One for All is the name of an association

agree  Shayna Barby: I agree with Ineke, wildflowers is a better translation. Is 'Ieder Voor Allen' perhaps a brand name? Hence upper case.
