Luxury flower designer carves out a niche

Mabel Maposa is a self-taught luxury floral designer. To her, flowers are to land what the rainbow is to the sky: blazes of colour you cannot help but marvel at.

When I met her at Radisson Blu Arboretum in Nairobi, she was just from teaching a masterclass on Floral Designs at the second edition of the Kenya Flower Festival. The class which was to take one hour went on for four hours, and none of us complained. What happened?
