Botanical gardens Innsbruck - Beauty and Coulors of the Flora

The gate is ugly, but the stuff behind it is goooooooooooorgeous.
Yes my english-speaking friends, you were translating the sign correctly. Today we are talking about the botanical gardens in Innsbruck. Situated just around the corner of Martin's house, these gardens are probably not as big as the Melbournian equivalent, but they are pretty colourful and delightful and therefore worth a visit. Eureka!!!

Where there are flowers there also are insects living from its sweet nectar. Bumblebees and regular bees...

On the stones and logs you can see lizards enjoying the warmth of the sun.

Someone told me that some decades ago a young student was effected by the substances of following two plants and found inspiration in the look of the water lily leaves (3rd pic down) and then created a computer game called Pacman. If you look at the shape of Pacman and compare it with the shape of the plant you come to realize that it is really the same. Not similar, but same. So the story must be true.
