★★★★★2 years agoWhen me and my partner started getting closer and closer to the street where this plant lives, I could start feeling my heart beating faster… and when my eyes finally laid on the mesmerizing beauty of it, my life completely changed. Such an amazing gem in the most random street of Lisbon. I would definitely recommend you all to go visit this beautiful plant
Maggie Helmke
★★★★★4 months ago"the green fuse that drives the flower drives my green age; blasts the roots of trees" This plant is more than even Thomas could have imagined. The tree that could. The pot that stays, despite being driven to its brink. The leaves emitted their own sort of light, even on an overcast day.
