Aquatic Flora in the Tuscan Garden Reflecting Pool

Clumps of aquatic foliage, including arrow arum (Peltandra virginica) and water canna (Canna glauca), rise gracefully out of the still dark waters in the Tuscan Garden’s reflecting pool. Sunlit green leaves with striking reddish stems cast sharp reflections across the glassy surface, contrasting against the dark basin and low-cut boxwood hedges lining the edge. In the background, a stone bench and classical terracotta urn subtly frame the scene, emphasizing the quiet, Italianate formal layout of this courtyard space.
