Some water plants in my tubs and pond

Noticed my Hornwort has attached itself to some tubing near the waterfall and seems to like it there and it's growing bigger, Yay!

Do you need circulation or aeration in you tub gardens? I like this idea.

Is duck week the little tiny green things? Will they take over my pond if so?

 

[j.w]

No circulation in my tubs. Plants just get refreshed either by rain or my well water. Yes the tiny little green leaved plant is duckweed and if left in a pond w/o fish it could take over buy if I put any of it in my big pond w/the goldfish they will eat it all in no time so I have to deal it out to them a little at a time.

The obedient plant you named there is marsh betomy, square stem with lil fuzzies on it. The obedient plant looks similar but smooth round stem.

Ok thanks and I think you sent it to me once in a package w/ other stuff. Does it bloom?

 

[addy1]

Mine is just now blooming, around 3 foot tall, pretty purple flowers, spreads by runners

 

[j.w]

I wonder if mine is ok stuck in the rocks around the pond? Maybe it likes soil better.

I have it in pea gravel, it has wandered out of the pond into dirt, it is in the rocks around the pond, doing the same in each spot growing and just now starting to bloom.

 

[j.w]

Thanks addy and good to know it should bloom where I have it then.

I think your mystery plant is a Potamogeton sp.

 

[brokensword]

hmm, I was going to say the mystery plant sure looks like young water hawthorn...

 

[j.w]

Yep @Marck That's what it was, I say was cuz it was extremely invasive in my pond and I got rid of it!

Creeping Jenny had to go in my pond it grew so fast. In and out of the pond and leave one root behind and its on it comes back. Penny wart is another but a little easier to control but man does it spread fast in the stream it has not n are it to the pond yet.
Water cress is another fast and furious grower but very easy to control.
