It is a bit strange to name a blog post after a plant, but this not just any plant. Vitis Quinquefolia is a Latin name for Virginia Creeper, a plant that is a very import feature for the image of the hotel. It covers a very large part of the wall and gives to the Grand Hotel Toplice a rather unique look. It changes colours according to the season. Most of it was planted in the 1930-s, and there were some additional plants added some 30 years ago. Stefan, who is head of maintenance in the hotel and has been working for this hotel for 37 years actually remembers buying the additional plants.
