An Oriental Palace in a Zinnia Garden

The wide palace is shown from the front, with upturned, tiered roofs above a long colonnade. Double doors mark the center of the building. Large zinnia blooms fill the lower corners, while leafy tree crowns and billowing clouds rise behind the palace.

Curious Facts About Zinnias and Upturned Roofs

Zinnias are warm-season flowers that attract butterflies and other pollinating insects. Each flower head is actually made up of many small flowers arranged closely together. In several East Asian architectural traditions, curved roof edges help direct rainwater away from walls and also give important buildings their recognizable silhouette.

Colors Found in the Real World

  • Zinnia petals: naturally occur in red, orange, yellow, pink, purple, white, and green varieties
  • Zinnia centers: often yellow or golden, sometimes surrounded by darker inner petals
  • Zinnia leaves and stems: medium to deep green

  • Palace roofs and columns: historic examples may feature red, green, blue, gold, brown, white, or natural stone tones
Questions and answers

Questions and Answers

Why do zinnias attract butterflies?
Their broad flower heads provide convenient landing places. The small flowers in each head offer nectar that butterflies can reach with their long feeding tubes.
Why are some traditional palace roofs built in several tiers?
Multiple roof levels can shelter different parts of a large building and emphasize its height and importance. They also create deep eaves that protect walls and walkways from sun and rain.
Are all zinnias the same shape?
No. Some have a single row of petals, while others form rounded, layered, or cactus-like flower heads.
