A striking floral installation in the shape of a butterfly was one of the main attractions at the International Flower Trade Expo (IFTEX) 2026, held at Visa Oshwal, Westlands, Nairobi, earlier this week.
Held under the theme Shaping the Future of Floriculture, the continent’s largest flower industry trade show attracted over 210 exhibitors and hundreds of buyers from Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and America.
The creative butterfly design, exhibited by Sosiani Flowers, featured a variety of carefully selected alstroemeria flowers arranged to showcase the symmetry and elegance of a butterfly’s wings.
