No plant that flowers is invasive imho! I have a pretty yellow one that is blocking my path I just let it block until it is done blooming, It smells wonderful! There really is a path there.............

A coworker gave me a 5 gallon bucket half full of Hornwart. I got that into the pond and returned the bucket to him with water lettuce and water hyacenth. He hadn't gotten any yet and mine are multiplying well. I started with one of each about a month ago and I'm already giving it away!

@addy1 that looks like a coreopsis. Or a tickweed. Very pretty in any case!

Your chipmunks however - all yours!

Did an unintentionall 50% water change last night.
A plant got in the output of the waterfall, watered my grass well
Not that it didn't need a water change, I just didn't expect it.
Good news though, I now know by having my pumps on the 1 foot level, it won't suck the pond dry if things go wrong.

I hang my pumps from a pipe across the pond 2 feet off the bottom

 

[DeepWater]

@Patfish did your water get low enough for the pump to suck air? If so, did it keep running or self shut-off? Any damage?

There is some tickseed to the right of that plant, it has not bloomed yet. Has real fine leaves. The yellow flower has bigger leaves.

The yellow flower on the bottom left looks like Lanceleaf Tickseed. I grow tons of it.



Today, Penstemon digitalis opened up next to my pond and my bog.
