Plants in question are arrowhead, hornwart, duck week

** These are HARDY even in zone 6 where I live. They don't need protection.

& fairy moss,
sensitive fern (Touch me Plant),

** I don't know about these two.

parrots feather, miniature cat tails,

** Both of these are hardy.

aponogene (sp?), ribbon grass (strawberries and creame)

** Apong's are not hardy - ribbon grass?

Pickerel reed,

** This is hardy and will live over easily.

Thalia, and Bog bean.

** Not sure about these - why not Google them and see for yourself what the
experts recommend.

I know I could have planted the later two into
ther soil in the pond area, but I wanted to keep them out for now
since I just got them and then come spring divide them and put them
where I hope to establish them permanently, as I may make a few
changes around the pond this winter.

All water lillies in pots will be placed in the large pond in about 2
feet of water.

Suggestions or info appreciated.
