the horsetail I had in Houston didn't grown IN the pond, but did great in

==========================
Some of these plants do as well as or better in the garden than in the
water/pond. I have all kinds of plants that jumped the pond and were
growing in the soil outside the liner. I have to dig up and remove more.
It's getting too overgrown around the ponds. We already removed many of
them. Lizards tail, water bamboo and water iris are the worst. But there
were also some arrowheads and some other "stuff".....
