Colombia’s flower power

Carnations were the foundation for the Colombian flower business as it began its rise to global prominence in the mid-1960s. While roses often steal the show, Colombia is the world’s largest exporter of carnations and one of the biggest exporters to the UK is Aposentos Flowers. Tommy Leighton visited Britania Farm, one of the company’s four farms in close proximity in the Bogotá Savannah.
