The June trials also serve to test the market reaction to varieties and concepts still in development. This year, a total of 22 breeders featured in the official Flower Trials programme, including UK-based Floranova. A number of Dutch nurseries chose the same period to run open days, while eight breeders in Germany ran their own "Euro-Trials" at the same time. Participants in the Aalsmeer trials were: Ball; Danziger "Dan" Flower Farms/Imperial Plants; Florist de Kwakel BV; HilverdaKooij BV; mKoppe BV; Moerheim New Plant; and Royal Van Zanten.
