St Alexander Nevski

Whoever landscaped relied on flowers like their life depends on it.

I like the flowers more than the cathedral. Something with the symbolic around it doesn’t sit right with me. Perhaps it needs a couple of hundred years of service to get there. The nearby St. Sofia church looks much more authentic and comfortable. Like a place you’d visit for a holiday or an important life event or memorial.

The colours were pretty yesterday.

The Botanic Garden – Sofia

We visited the greenhouse part of the Botanic Garden yesterday. It’s a nice distraction from the busy and gray winter Sofia and transports you to a world of flowers and fish.

Honestly, can’t imagine the effort to maintain all these flowers – they have slightly different needs, and it’s all done manually. Not sure how the staff manages to do it.

Some of the plants are for sale. We got ourselves a tiny Peperomia.
