For all of the times that I have visited Phipps Conservatory I just recently wandered around the aquatic garden. Since this garden is outside of the conservatory it can be explored by anyone walking down the street or through Schenley Park. Two large ponds display water lilies and other aquatic plants while beautiful flowers such as the orange cana lily, line the edges. At the end of the ponds with a backdrop of pine trees stands a statue of Neptune. This titan watches over the aquatic garden giving a central view point and focus to the design.
