From 2 to 4 June, the thirteenth edition of IFTEX, Africa’s largest floriculture trade fair, brought together 210 exhibitors at the Visa Oshwal Centre in Nairobi. For Blooming Innovations, it was an opportunity to bring its flowers, varieties and vision together at stand F2.02 and connect with florists, buyers and flower professionals from across the globe.
Blooming Innovations takes home Best Stand Design
The Blooming Innovations stand was awarded Best Stand Design at IFTEX 2026, recognising the creative and professional presentation of its flowers. The design and styling were created in collaboration with florist Inge Quint of Inge Quint Flower Art, who brought Blooming Innovations Hydrangea, Delphinium and Limonium together in a striking floral presentation.
The result was a stand designed around the flowers themselves, while giving visitors a clear impression of the quality, variety and possibilities within the Blooming Innovations assortment.
Flowers grown for quality, all year round
At the centre of the stand was the Blooming Innovations collection: Hydrangea, Delphinium, and Limonium. Visitors could discover the core Blooming Innovations assortment, including the Hydrangea collection with the in-house bred HydraBloom Pink Progress, four in-house Delphinium varieties and a wide range of Limonium. A new addition to the assortment was presented at IFTEX for the first time: Lily flowers.
The flowers are grown year-round by sister company Blooming Africa in Kenya. Consistent quality, strong vase life and vibrant colours are key priorities, creating flowers that buyers and florists can rely on throughout the year.
For Blooming Innovations, IFTEX was therefore about more than displaying flowers. It was about showing what the collection stands for and meeting the people who work with it, source it, and bring it to markets around the world.
Looking back on IFTEX 2026
The Best Stand Design Award was one of the highlights of three successful exhibition days. Blooming Innovations had valuable conversations with visitors from different markets, made new connections, and received positive feedback on both the assortment and the stand.
Thank you to everyone who visited the Blooming Innovations stand at IFTEX 2026, and to Inge Quint for bringing the stand design to life.
