About a month ago, I bought a potted Black Marble taro at a watergardening nursery in Needville. This little cutie has sprouted and bloomed. I can't think of what it is called. Anyone know? I have had them come up before, and I recall that when I looked it up, it said that it commonly grew in ponds in cow pastures. ???
I've never seen any growing around here, but I do like it. It is small and it was a volunteer (E for effort!
),
and it sprouted and bloomed quickly. If it is a weed, so much the better.
It's not a good pic....too bright. You can't really see the little yellow stamens. The leaves remind me of pickeral, altho a little more fleshy.
BTW, the stuff that looks like fish eggs is bladder wort. It blooms yellow flowers but the underwater part looks very much like goldfish eggs.
