Residential Accra is now favours fine flowers. What tells me so is all the comely ceramic vases, sundry seedlings and weft wickerwork that environ the streets of the city of Accra. Plus, there are many nurseries among wafer woods where rich people browse and buy one hundred far-flung species.
These flowers are expensive, I’m told. There was a time when flowers were either freely obtained in the city of Accra, or else the average Accraian home simply went bare. Plus maybe Accraian homeowners, with all the castles they build in the air, are becoming ‘civilised’. Or maybe the economy is just booming. Ha!
I have seen pinched places in Accra where if you planted the straitened people in your private pleasance, they would devour the petals, leaves and beds out of hunger. So, I don’t really feel civilised by festooning and garlanding the bare house I live in. But from an artsy point of view, it is good that Accra now loves flowers.
If flowers is the new "sex" then Accra must be a major erogeneous zone....
ReplyDeletePretty 'wild' tangent to take off from this post, no? But y'all know that I love it! Flowers, sex, Accra, Errogenous Zone? What a Christmas we may have! ;-)
ReplyDeleteNana Yaw! That's one thing Jake O-L cannot claim credit of--Modernisation of the City, my foot!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I have been seeing you off and on when walking my dog around 6am-ish, but each time I life my hand to wave you, you pass by too quickly. I think you are not recognising me, o:-(

Oh, Emmanuel, I see you. But though I've met you at the 'Corner Shop' once, I have not been all too sure it was you. Now I will stop and give you a double human and canine hello, cool?
