As visitors streamed through the aisles of this year's International Floriculture Trade Exhibition (IFTEX) in Nairobi, many found themselves pausing at one particular stand.
Towering above arrangements of fresh-cut blooms was a life-sized horse sculpture crafted entirely from flowers. Built by Kenyan exporter Ole Engai Growers, the installation quickly became one of the exhibition's most photographed attractions, drawing visitors eager to capture its intricate details and imposing presence.
