FloraHolland Glazen Tulp Award for the four best market introductions

On Thursday, 31 January, the winners of the 2013 FloraHolland Glazen Tulp Award were announced. This award is presented to the most successful market introduction and Rob Verlinden, TV presenter and chairman of the jury, announced the winners in the four categories of cut flowers, house plants, garden plants and sales concepts. The awards ceremony took place during a festive meeting at Hotels van Oranje in Noordwijk.

In the cut flowers category, ArcadiA BV won first place with its Chrysanthemum Indicum Grp disbudded greenhouse 'Sombrella'. The jury was charmed by the natural look of this Chrysanthemum, which can be described as modern, hip and contemporary.



Bromelia Specialist BV, Stofbergen Plant Company BV and Ronald Bunnik won the Glazen Tulp award in the house plants category for their Tillandsia 'Samantha'. According to the jury, Tillandsia 'Samantha' possesses much innovative value, but remains neutral. The Tillandsia has a definite presence, and is very decorative in itself, meaning that it requires very little extra. It is a multi-faceted product for any home.

The Hebe Hebedonna Emma (container) was the winner of the Glazen Tulp award in the category of garden plants. This plant is supplied by Fa. Hkw C.M.A. Roozen & Zn, FlevoFlora, Fa. E. Hopmans, F.C. v.d Werf, Stefan Flore NV, Bloem. van de Casserie, S. de Jaeger, E. Boterdaele BVBA, The Globe, L.J. van der Meer BV and Boomkwekerij Out V.O.F. The jury spoke very positively about Hebe Hebedonna Emma's full structure and abundant flowers. Truly an innovative product and an excellent autumn plant for on the patio.

Kwekerij Zeurniet won the Glazen Tulp in the concepts category with its Tillansy. The jury found the concept of the Tillansy to be accessible for the public at large. It's a beautiful idea to let an old plant 'grow' in the glass. The concept is solid and it works. Additionally, this concept can be further developed to include other applications for the glass, such as hanging it up.
