Water Hyacinth seeds

I hear that if they flower they are stressed and trying to reproduce because of lack of nutrients in the water.

That would explain why mine never flowered. The algae tells me there's never a lack of nutrients in my pond.

The ones I had in my stock tank have miraclegro put in the tanks since there are no fish

That's actually pretty common in the plant world - I was so excited when my hens-and-chicks were flowering one year... and then discovered that meant they were dying and it was a last ditch effort to spread seed!

Funny and sad

Strange because mine did not die .I had pink and purple water hyacinth flowers last year .The ones that look pink were in the stock tank and the first pics were in the pond .I wish I had taken better pics to show the different colors .The ones I seen at the garden center were a very pale yellow flower .They grow the ones they get from seed .I went yesterday to see if they had any growing yet but they are tiny .I wanted pansy's any way and had to go to the dump so figured I would check
