To enjoy such an oasis in the city – as the botanical garden / Flora undoubtedly is – you need three things (colours):

=> the green of the lawn and the trees

=> the colourfulness of the blooming flowers

=> the blue of the water

The cascades below the former Flora Temple are Italian style. The large fountain at the main entrance is French. The large lawn and the Neptune pond are English. The botanical garden not only combines plants, but also the garden styles of different countries and eras. That is the program.

Along the cascades, pampas grasses stand as high as the pergolas. They are more reminiscent of the ambitious front gardens of Wüstenrot housing estates than, say, a noble castle in Campania. No trace of orange trees or flower beds. Unfortunately, the redesign in 1988 had in mind that everything would become easier to maintain.

Rumors surround the Flora Temple itself. The remaining floor slab reveals the foundations of 10 earlier columns. And the commemorative publication for the 150th anniversary confirms, "It consists of ten Corinthian columns."

But on some old postcards, it looks like 8 columns, e.g., t1p.de/7f54o That's why Wikipedia and the AI Copilot claim there are only 8 columns. But when questioned, Copilot completely reverses itself: "My mistake, there were 12"!
