This is a common plant. I just can not remember the name. I want to offer this plant with the four leaf clover and th looselife for postage if I can remember the name.. I really did like the plant as it stayed green through the winter. Thanks for the help.

Sorry about that .... the large growing plant on the right side of the waterfall

Maybe watercress?

Hi Myra, do you know if any of them are cold hardy? I would love more plants but we have very cold winters and I need things I can winter in the bottom.

I would love some of the clover, if you have some left. I live in Georgia, 30116 zip. I will pay. Just let me know how much. Thanks, Kay

watercress?

Is it in a pot?

small fish · « **Reply #11 on:** March 31, 2008, 07:50:40 PM »

$:-\$ maybe, maybe not .. I know that is not a very good answer ... I just put it in the pond last year ... the plant is not that tall ... it is growing up a rock hill ... I am very surprised how much it has grown and that was over the winter .. most of it is growing now on the top of the water

I think it is watercress.

happyoutsidegirl · « **Reply #13 on:** April 01, 2008, 04:13:07 AM »

I'm still wondering if it's winter hardy? If so I would love some!

Joyce · « **Reply #14 on:** April 01, 2008, 04:16:48 AM »

Yes, it's winter hardy for you there....and in most places!

happyoutsidegirl · « **Reply #15 on:** April 01, 2008, 04:27:36 AM »

Oh thank you Joyce!

Myra I'll pay postage if you put me on the list! I really need plants. Joyce did you hear I lost a lot of plants when my DDH was in the Hosp. before he passed? The weather turned hot while I was gone and no one taking care of things. It all happned to fast to arrainge.

I think it is too...and if I remember right it likes the cold better than it does the heat...am I right Joyce?

Yup, it's a cold weather loving plant.
It'll seem to wilt away and disappear in extremely hot climates, but not to worry,
once it cools down, you'll see it sprouting again.

It will actually get covered and frozen in ice, and still be green and growing!
Gets little clusters of white blooms too.

And it's edible for fish and humans too!

definately watercress! I have a patch that looks just like it... I put it in salads and eat it on sandwiches like lettuce. Mine comes up on its own in the winter here (south florida) and disappears in the summer. Great water filter.

happyoutsidegirl · « **Reply #19 on:** April 01, 2008, 04:42:15 PM »

Oh this sounds great! We have pretty hot summers tho? But very cool nights. I think it will do well here? I'm excited to try it.

Julles · « **Reply #20 on:** April 01, 2008, 06:31:05 PM »

Watercress.

Have you tried munching some? Watercress is wonderfully peppery.

small fish · « **Reply #21 on:** April 01, 2008, 07:47:41 PM »

Hummmm, I will have to try munching some tomorrow

Most definately watercress. Grows wild in moving springs near here. I got some from a grocercy store stuck under rock at bottom of waterfall. Grew very prolific. When it got to big and spilled into pond the kio would have a salad for lunch. Thanks for posting pictures.
