This report is a continuation of my previous post about the parallels that I see between Puckler and Frederick the Great. I previously mentioned overall stylistic similarities and the influence of respective status on their designs. In the attached image, I am struck by the similarilities between flowerbeds found in Puckler's gardens and the one at Sanssouci. The spoke-like design, including the topiary at the spokes' ends is found in Puckler's rosary garden. I wonder if the style used presently at Sanssouci was 'original', that is to wonder- were flowerbeds like that common in the mid to late 18th century, or were they a later development? I ask the question as I am curious to know who influenced whom, or was this type of style prevalent and common throughout the time that both were alive. Puckler's spoke design is present not only in his flowerbeds, but also in the arrangement of the new schloss and the views radiating from it. In this way, it is a significant formal arrangement.
