Picked up one of these today.... and totally forgot the name of it. I'm too new to all of this to be certain, figured maybe one of you could be of help. Thanks in advance.

Or Water Plantain. Or Amazon Sword. My money's on the sword. Wrong shape of leaf for Pickerel Reed.

Amazon sword. Definitely! I used to cultivate them in aquaria. Didn't see the flower in the first pictures. Pickerelweed leaves have a slight "shoulder" at the base. Water Plantain flowers are carried on a tall stem, forming a cluster about 8" high and almost as wide.

Thanks so much for all of the replies, everyone. Additional pictures of flower. I didn't think to take pictures of it...
