Sometimes it’s luck … I have no idea what prompted somebody to call their bus company “urban” and decorate it with one of the most elusive flowers (according to Asterix) found only in the high alps.
Yes, that’s it. If you’ve ever read “Asterix in Switzerland” that’s where it is called that. The two Gauls go to Switzerland (“very flat country” according to Obelix) to retrieve one bloom which the druid needs to concoct an antidote for a poisoned Roman. It’s a hilarious send up of all things Swiss – we celebrate and quote it every time we have a cheese fondue.
haha, you nailed it!

Great find. I had a somewhat off the wall choice but went with the view from the Bean instead.
