Something has came up in my lotus pot and its going to town.. dark red type leaves and flowers that leave some type of balls hanging on it.

The plant with the dark purple leaves I believe is a "silk stockings" saggittarria (arrowhead).  Not sure about the other plant...

The second picture is water plantain...Alisma sp (maybe Alisma plantago-aquatica).

It will have 100's of tiny white flowers on that spike.  Similar to baby's breath.  Cut off the spike immediately after it blooms or it will reseed everywhere!

Very hardy...it freezes solid here in zone 4 without a problem.
