Very nice pictures! I like the 'almost black lily'- is that the real name?
What is an anacharis? I saw it listed (I think) in the plants that are
illegall in many states; but i'm sure not in yours!

Almost black is the real name of the lily by Perry Slocum Anacharis is an
underwater type of plant....I never heard that it was illegal in any state
