A few pics not lilies for Marie and HTH

[SueSTx]

There were several of us in Chat last night discussing pond plants other than lilies.   

When we got to water willow, we couldn't decide what the bloom really looked like...so I went out with my camera and tried to get a shot.  I was really surprised.  I hadn't a clue it was that pretty upclose.



A shot of my Mare's Tail.  It is potted up and the water barely covers the dirt.  I much prefer this than parrots feather.  I dropped it down to the bottom on the tank and it survived 10" of ice.

They are both very nice plants.   We need to talk.

Sue I like them both

mare's tail then would not be as invasive as anacharis or parrots feather. Like Vickie,
think I like that.  When I googled, the word horsetail kind of scared me off. Evidently
you're have no problems with it. Good.  And going to watch my water willow to see if
I get bloom like yours!! LOL

Here are the pics of the Duck Potato for Marie.





And the bloom.



This is the best Water Willow pic that I can get because of the weed in the same pot with it.
