1. Streetartwall. A beautiful mural with botanical motifs was sprayed/painted on the outside wall of a three-storey building. The mural is painted in light and dark green and shows a stone landscape with mountains in the background. A rare plant, "Gigas Gentiana punctata", a type of gentian, grows in the middle between the stones. It has tall, upright stems with spotted, pointed leaves and a crown of bright, densely packed, jagged flower buds. Golden insects buzz around it. An amphibian or lizard meanders along the base of the plant. Beautifully drawn and realized. It is reminiscent of old botanical books. Info: The mural was painted in honor of the 90th anniversary of the Vitosha National Park.Vitosha is a mountain massif on the outskirts of the Bulgarian capital Sofia, it is known for its diverse ecosystems. This rare plant, Gentiana punctata, which is listed in the Bulgarian Red Book of Threatened Species, grows between huge stones.
