Botanical bouquet..



How nice to arrive home and discover this gorgeous, fairly new mural painted back in April this year by Perth based artist and illustrator Paul Deej. The 'Botanic Lady' inspired by local flowers found in Kings Park Botanic Garden is a beauty with her green eyes and secret smile :) Painted appropriately on the wall of Verbena Flowers on Hay Street in West Perth. A collaboration between the artist, West Perth Local and City of Perth in an attempt to inspire more street art in this area. I say a big YES to that, there is many a wall in West Perth that could be livened up by the many, many talented street artists in Perth. P.s. A seat on the bench here is the perfect photo opportunity, my favourite colour too 💙

  1. Being sure to wear some flowers in your hair is one thing. Cacti in your hair is something else again.
    Nice mural though.

  3. What a lovely mural to spruce up that wall and bench. It is a perfect subject for a flower shop. I always am glad to get back home from a trip no matter how good the trip.

  10. Even that blue background is lovely floral. What a gorgeous mural! And the woman looks a bit like a young version of the late Princess Margaret to me.
