Thanks, Sami.
Painted by Miss Polly for the Darwin Street Art Festival of 2020, in Shadforth Lane, on the walls of the Rydges Darwin Central Hotel.
The mural represents the Sturt Desert Rose (Gossypium Sturtianum), the Northern Territory's floral emblem. It is an extremely resilient plant with a high tolerance to draught and other extreme conditions, which also applies to the people of the Northern Territory.
I'm not sure why this beautiful plant can't come to the states. We could use a drought tolerant beauty like this here. This is a fabulous mural. It has such perceived depth, too. Thanks so much for finding this incredible mural.
ReplyDeleteAustralia has lots of drought tolerant plants. Thanks Elizabeth, it's a great mural.
DeleteThis is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I couldn't put my contribution to your linky list. Here it is: https://geriatrixfotogallerie.wordpress.com/2021/10/24/a-wall/
Thanks Traudel. I entered your link, not sure why it didn't work for you.
Deletea beautiful flower I never heard of
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard of it before going to Darwin either Kwarkito. Thank you :)
DeleteOh this is so pretty! I have a desert rose plant too
ReplyDeleteThanks Amy. I had never seen them before, or maybe just didn't know what they were.
DeleteA wonderful mural, Sami. Did you get to see the flower for real?
ReplyDeleteThanks David. No, I didn't get to see it at all.
DeleteThis is just fabulous, Sami. It's so happy!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeanie, I agree it's a happy mural.
DeleteThis is such a beautiful mural with its 3D effect. Sorry but I can’t seem to link it to your blog. So here is my entry https://mywanderings.travel.blog/2021/10/24/a-little-girl/
ReplyDeleteThanks Teresa. Not sure what happened, I've entered it for you :)
DeleteDearest Sami,
ReplyDeleteThe artist created an incredible three dimensional look in this mural of real looking Malvaceae; WOW!
Hugs,
Mariette
Thanks Mariette, a beautiful 3D look indeed :)
Delete😉
DeleteWonderful 3d art!
ReplyDeleteThanks Magiceye :)
DeleteThat's pretty. No connection to the Sturt Desert Pea I am told. Lol at your rose and people in the NT comparison.
ReplyDeleteThat would be the flower emblem for South Australia :) How interesting Andrew.
DeleteI copied that from the artist's description of the mural, lol
Com a música Desert Rose, de Sting, em fundo seria o cenário perfeito.
ReplyDeleteBoa semana
Obrigada Pedro, nao pensei nessa musica que realmente ia bem com o mural, lol.
DeleteBeautiful Desert Roses mural. I am sure the real roses will be much more beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI didn't get to see them at all, so can't say, but I'm sure real ones would be even better looking :) Thanks Nancy
DeleteI love the desert rose thanks for introducing us! Sami
ReplyDeleteThanks Cloudia :)
DeleteWow, this is outstanding. So beautiful!
ReplyDelete(BTW... the Einbahn-Strasse made me laugh real hard)
Thanks Iris, I was glad I spotted this mural, I thought it was quite beautiful too.
DeleteOne episode not to be forgotten for sure Iris, lol.
Amazing 3D effect, Great captured.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rupam :)
DeleteBeautiful flowers and the color of the hotel and the small windows with the permanent sunshades point to a tropical climate. A nice combination with the mural here.
ReplyDeleteIndeed a tropical climate and the shades will be quite handy. Thanks SC :)
DeleteGorgeous!
