Prague 3, day 52: Květinková

Květinková was built in 1947.

If something is květinový, it’s floral or flowery. And it certainly does get that way round here.

Make it květinkový, and it’s still floral… but the flowers are presumably that little bit cuter.

For vocabulary fans, a květinový záhon is a flowerbed, whereas květinová výzdoba is a floral tribute.
