Stories x Chimutengo Florists

Located in the first isle of Northmead market,Lusaka is a conglomerate of fantastic individuals who sell beautiful flowers in an array of colours. Photographed here is Mr Derrick Kasonde sorting through the roses

I usually walk past the open shop but I got the urge to photograph them some time earlier this week. When I asked the men WHY FLOWERS? They mentioned it was simply because it was good business. There I was hoping for a romantic story.

The colours of the roses really draw the eye in and make you want to investigate further by getting closer. You are spoiled for choice, One has to actually fight the urge to purchase EVERYTHING. That's when the money isn't already denying you the urge!

From a distance, I took this in the shop opposite the florist, one of my faves

VARIETY is the spice of LIFE! Look at all those vibrant colours!

MEET THE TEAM: Derrick Kasonde, Evans Mwila, Pastor Sakala, Mike Tembo, Innocent Kapyanga, Martin Jere, Emmanual Banda, Isaac Mbewe (One of them is not pictured)

Get to Northmead Market and buy some flowers, FOR ANY OCCASION. I was told Weddings are big buyers and so are churches and funerals. If you will be attending a funeral or a wedding or just want something for your man or woman, VISIT THE GUYS AT CHIMUTENGO FLORISTS, NORTHMEAD, LUSAKA, ZAMBIA.
