The plant looks nice : https://www.google.com/s...xvIJlN-lmn2M:&vet=1 But why do many Kenyans want things for free?  Ripa bere ya kura. I charge a mere 100k consultation fee to help you landscape your property competently. Till number iko.

But if you want the complicated varieties, colors etc, said florist should be located somewhere near the "leafy burbs" whether in DC, Karen, Kile, Lavi, etc. DC is leafy?

Na uanze na geraniums It's leafy. Lemmi help @mukundaman. DC is the new Karen, AKA Karen South. Seems you are like @wukan who believes that the Nairobi metropolis starts and ends with kirinyaga rd and lavington. We are in 2019, not the 1960s.

Mmmh...what is Nairobi metropolis? Hapana tambua hiyo Nairobi core is clearly visible on google maps it ends at outer ring road, intersection of kamiti road/Northern by pass/Ruaka, Langata road near Bomas then to the National park boundaries, before the Kangemi flyover, Convent road, Amboseli road areas.

A leafy place is pleasant and has a lot of trees. You need to plant more trees to claim that title, we shouldn't be seeing dust from DC on Msa road if you had enough trees.

Guys,
That neighbour has now become a thief. I was wondering why he was watching my property very closely in a very weird way. He has started stealing plants and I have him caught on CCTV. "Nimpeleke mbele" au should I forgive him. Remember yeye ni mzee bin mzee with grandkids my height. He does not know I have the footage as my camera is well hidden.

So how did Kenneth make Gatanga so green? First, he tried very hard. Secondly, he won the “unintended consequences” lottery.
In the early period when he was pushing tree planting in his constituency, they would be planted along roads and other places on Day One, and on Day Two Gatanga would wake up only to find the people had stolen the trees.
Eventually Kenneth figured he could put the thieves to good purpose; he would use them to do for free, and on a much larger scale, what he was spending money to achieve.
And so a race started. Many trees would be planted, and many of them would be stolen a few days later. Then more would be planted, and they do would be stolen, and on, and on.
Kenneth knew that the people were not boiling the trees for healing juices or throwing them away. They were planting them in their gardens and lawns.
The plant thieves of Gatanga stole so many of the trees, that when they were done, one Gatangan citizen told me rather hyperbolically that they had achieved the highest per capita tree-planting of any constituency in Africa!
And therein is the lesson. If your environmental project involves planting something, you are more likely to succeed if you pick an item that the people will want to steal.source

Kumbe PK was a very smart man! Enyewe let the copycat steal. Any improvement to his property actually improves upon the value of mine as well.
