The Hofgarten, as you might expect in a formal garden, is very well kept. One down side to this is that plants are pulled up and replaced even when they are still in healthy bloom. I was walking through the Hofgarten one day and came across a group of workers digging up these beautifel plants and dumping them in the back of a truck to be taken off foe composting.

Poor unloved flowers. Great shot and neat title.
Thanks MBS. While I was watching them at work I did see a few people come up and take a few of the flowers from the back of the truck so at least some of them got a second chance.
Can't claim the title - it's the name of a book by a favourite author, Barbara Nadel.
