From Carol

The first ones to grow here in middle TN, zone 6 are the ones called "penny
creeper" by the woman who have me a handful some years back. They look like
little parasols on a stick. They grow like a vine along the pond's edges,
but in the water. The leaves are about the size of a silver dollar. The
others are the iris and parrots feather. Cat tails also come up early as do
the water "Baby's breath."
