I believe this is a native plant here in Indiana. I really like it and it does not appear to be invasive. Kept a small bit when constructing the pond but, recently found a large patch of this plant in another area that I'm going to transplant from. It has directly opposing leaves like a honey suckle and it produces quarter size yellow flowers in the spring. Seems to thrive as much out of water as it does in water. Anyone have a clue what it is?

I have that in my pond as well. It likes to grow and drape over into the water. I'll see if I can find the name.

Creeping Jenny comes to mind but I'll double check.

Good call. You are absolutely correct, that is it. Didn't realize it grew wild here. Now I need to shop for different varieties. Looks great for pond edges and it seems to like it in the water as well. Highly recommend it.
