Well I haven't had any of this plant before so I will take good care of it and let you know how it does in my pond. I have just realized that my water hawthorn hasn't come up yet. Anyone know when it is meant to be there. Maybe i have lost it over the long winter. The bogbean is just starting but so far each year it hasn't flowered so I hope this year it will be different.
I have just found a stem with three or four leaves on it near the bogbean so my water hyacinth is finally coming up. Everything else is going great. I am glad it hadn't disappeared for good. Yours looks really healthy Richard. I must admit though that your pond always looks nice and clear with the fish always looking good and healthy.
