The Uppsala University Botanical Garden is the oldest in Sweden, having been founded in 1655. Carl Linnaeus restored the garden in 1741, but it has since been relocated to grounds adjoining the university. It spans 34 acres, and contains over 11,000 species and cultivars. I was attracted to a few isolated plants along a wall that provided a suitable background.

According to Wikipedia, Linnaeus, Uppsala University's most famous faculty member, "was a Swedish botanist, physician, and zoologist, who laid the foundations for the modern scheme of binomial nomenclature. He is known as the father of modern taxonomy, and is also considered one of the fathers of modern ecology."
