As 2pods posted, it sure looks like Bog Bean to me as well.......but
yours seems to be doing quite well floating or being in the
water..MIne just sets there and does nothing......if its planted in
any depth of water...however that same plant when planted right at the
waters edge will grow pretty rapid, but still does not put any runners
directly into the water, it keeps its growth confined to the bank.....
