Yeah, always suspicious of water hyacinth
blooming.
But I think they feel that feeling crowded is
feeling doomed (like they can't reproduce via
runners anymore) so that isn't a bad thing
for the pond. When mine fill up the stock
tank filter they start to bloom.

Blooming WH; this is a bad thing for them? Here I have been hoping mine
would bloom, which they did, 4 - 5 lavender blossoms and I was happy.
So blooming is a sign of needing more room, huh? I would have never
guessed. I think I will let my crowd a bit more before starting to put
the excess on the compost.
