Coney's choice of the Albert Park fountain provides an elaborate backdrop to the vibrancy of spring time irises and velvet-peteled roses . This fountain, commissioned from the Scottish foundry James Allan & Son of Glasgow has graced the central Auckland park since 1882. The fountain is a classical Victorian design depicting four waterbabies riding fish and sea-serpents.
