I have to join the root crew. Flowers are nice to look at. Roots filter,
hold bacteria and grab nutrients. Actually, the WH looks pretty good and
covers surface. Not bad. Also provides LOTS of mulch once they get
reproducing.

all of you want that hyacinth cause it has that one measly flower at a
time and only
for one day. if you can give that ephemeral flower up, then you can
forget hyacinths
AND water lettuce and get on with much friendlier, more useful and hardier
plants for
veggie filters. properly fertilized water lilies in large pots will
nearly cover the
entire surface of a pond. Ingrid
