Bloomz New Zealand won the award for best flower from a bulb or tuber at the recent International Hortifair in Amsterdam for its patented variety Hot Chocolate®. Managing Director, Andy Warren, said, “This award is recognition of a very special flower, and is a great launchpad for other new calla varieties. It also helps to maintain New Zealand’s reputation for innovation and excellence in the flower export business. We’re delighted.”This is the latest in a string of successes for Hot Chocolate® against top international competition. The flower’s first major win was the award of merit at Royal Horticultural Society’s world-famous Chelsea flower show in 2003, followed later that year by its first award from the International Hortifair. In 2004 it was voted best new fresh cut flower at the Wholesale Florist and Florist Supplier Association Floral Expo in Atlanta, USA.
