Once you warm the wall with your hands or turn up the heat, the first pink buds will appear among the green leaves on the wallpaper (25 º C) , and after that you will see the flowers (35 º C). If you open a window or turn on the air conditioner, you will observe the opposite picture: the cold air will cause the walls turn green again.
