Description: The element of water adds the essence of nature and a soothing dimension to any garden. The diversity of water plants is astounding from the huge floating pads of the Victoria hybrid water lilies to the narrow, grasslike leaves of dwarf cattails. The aquatic garden is also a garden of sound, where the play of droplets from fountains or waterfalls reminds us of the timelessness and sanctity of water. It is a habitat, too, for fish, frogs, and insects. www.usna.usda.gov/Gardens/collections/admin.html
