Here are a few in bloom photos of some of the aquatic plants Addy was kind enough to share with me.
Addy can you or anyone else help me identify them?

No, but they sure are pretty! The yellow flower reminds me of a Marsh Marigold, but the leaves aren't right for that.

Can you give more info for them, like how tall or what the habit is (spreading, branching, mounding, etc.....)?

Yellow flower looks like a Buttercup.

Here's a photo from a site I use to ID Wisconsin plants.

The purple and white flower belongs to water willow. It's a beautiful plant, but be careful. It can be invasive. Mine jumped the pot and put out roots/runners through the pond.

Thank you for the ID's !
JB after additional research I believe the yellow one to be Great Spearwort ( Ranunculus lingua )

I have some WW growing for when my bog is ready. It hasn't bloomed yet, and is doing that "first-season" thing of just surviving and getting itself established. Thanks for the heads-up!

Water willow, second is either obedient or marsh betomy, the stem looks square if it is square with soft bristles, it is the marsh betomy, the obedient has a round smooth stem, bottom is creeping primrose.

My water willow has never taken over, it sends out runners but has stayed well behaved. I love the ww it stays short and has great looking flowers.

The primrose makes a mass of roots and spreads by runners, I have it in a shallow pond.
