Mainau is a "flowering island", located
in lake Constance near Konstanz, and notable for its parks and
gardens. Frederick I, Grand Duke of Baden, created the island's
arboretum, which now contains 500 species of deciduous and coniferous
trees, many exotic and valuable, including fine specimens of Giant
Sequoias. The island also contains about 200 rhododendron and azalea
varieties.
The Italian Rose Garden laid out geometrically
with pergolas, sculptures, and fountains, and includes some 500 rose
varieties. The Mediterranean terraces contain exotic pot plants,
including palm trees, agaves, cacti, and bougainvillea. The island as
a whole contains about 30,000 rose bushes representing 1,200
varieties, and about 20,000 dahlias of 250 varieties.
