It sounds like your pond has alot of nutrients and with all the sun,
you have gangbuster algae growth.

Exactly! Thanks for your help. I'm about 100 miles South of Atlanta
and it is sunny, but that is the purpose of lilies, to shade the pond,
not as a nutrient sink. That was my reason for adding water
hyacinths.

It seems every year I have a bout with some form of algae, but it
just makes life interesting.
