[edit] Cacti
I got the point of your edit, and put a reference to thorns in the intro. This is one of my "watched pages" so leave a comment on the article's talk page (or mine) if there's anything else you want to say about it. Totnesmartin 17:09, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
thanks.Sieb 10:50, 1 February 2007 (UTC) PS: Palmengarten Frankfurt is full of Cactus etc in extremly large amount. Therefore it is the first place, foreign prominent visitors such as princess X from some Asian place adore to see. (This is what local journals report)...
The botanical exhibits are organized according to their origin in free-air or climatized greenhouses, which also contain numerous tropical and subtropical plants. With 29 hectares, it is the largest garden of its kind in Germany". In 1871 opened to the public (one colorful visit was from the American entertainer Buffalo Bill who brought his Western show in 1890.) In 1931, it was taken over by the city of Frankfurt but was later transferred to the American occupation authorities after World War II. When the Palmengarten was returned to the city's hands in the sixties, a major reconstruction effort was begun. Halls destroyed in the war were redeveloped and expanded. In 1992 the reconstruction finished completely and the Palmengarten shined in its new form.
Directly next to the area of the Palmengarten is the Frankfurt Botanical Garden, which belongs to the biology department of Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität Frankfurt.
I have put your request on the Wikipedia: Requested articles page. Totnesmartin 12:26, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
