Not to familiar with your weather, but do you always cut back your flowering
plants below the water? Alot of them will die if cut back under water.
Anything with a hollow cell frame will drowned. it is usually best to just
clean off the dead stuff and leave them where they are, of course lilies and
lotus are different.

I spent a couple of hours this afternoon
pulling the brown Hyacinths out of the pond.
It's interesting that the water lettuce is still nice
and green. I moved most of the remaining lettuce
into the veggie filter for now, I know it'll die as soon
as we have a hard freeze.
Next I've got to trim all the tall flowering plants
back below water level. I wonder how long the
Black Taro will live...

I wonder if there are any other members of this
group in the Charlotte NC area?

Happy ponding...

Ron
