A colorful tribute to Prince has attracted media attention to a Sacramento suburb — including a flood of visitors to the artist's home, sending her into apparent seclusion.

The mural was painted by Citrus Heights artist Christine Stein in 2016 after the artist's death and was strategically placed in her front yard, enshrouded in a tree that serves as a leafy version of Prince's hair.

The tribute, however, is receiving fresh attention after a photo Stein posted to social media on Easter showed the tree in bloom.

"Our #Prince bush started flowering all of a sudden!" Stein wrote on Twitter. "Now there are hundreds bees buzzing and a few birds living in the bush! Happy #Easter Everyone!"

The photo spread internationally, with publications such as Britain's Independent writing about the Sacramento "Prince tree."

Stein is now encountering Prince fans outside her home, arriving from as far as Georgia, Florida and Minnesota, The California Sun reported. According to Stein, visitors leave items such as flowers, wax sculptures and other odd items, calling the groups that arrive "very nice people" but "fanatics."

"They have all purple going on," Stein told the California Sun. "They have purple hair."

Now, it seems the artist is seeking a bit of privacy from the purple one's fans, according to The California Sun:

"Stein said she used to chat with the pilgrims. Now, she's disconnected her doorbell, covered her front windows, and started using a side entrance to her home. She even put a fake address number on the house."

The flow of visitors isn't expected to dwindle anytime soon, however. The anniversary of Prince's death is around the corner on April 21, and the crowds are only expected to get worse.

As for the reason behind the suddenly flowering tree, Stein told broadcast station KCRA that she wasn't aware that the tree could even bloom. She attributed the floral display to an accidental delivery of mulch that was dropped off in front of the tree, saying it may have given the plant some extra nutrients, causing it to flower the way it did.

But before the Prince mural became the phenomenon that it was, Stein had another artist enshrined at that tree: Bob Ross.

"Before the Prince mural was up, I had another mural of Bob Ross that made people happy," Stein said in 2016. "I hope to make people happy in my neighborhood with this Prince mural, and possibly inspire others to do more public art."
