I love the patten of the branches in this above photo and you can instantly imagine the printed or woven textile inspired by this photo.
Notice the ants in the above photo.
A fantastic image of the iconic Venus fly trap plant where
the wonderful reds merge with the outer green.
In the 1920s a statue was added in the palace to "King Robert of Sicily" a figure from the works of Longfellow. This is by the Scottish sculptor George Henry Paulin a really beautiful feature I felt to the Glasgow Botanic Gadens.
