Water Hyacinth.

They are illegal to grow here.
Unfortunately. :-(


Very pretty, but IIRC, it's the plant that clogs up waterways something

They crowd out native species but for sheer beauty, that is not
necessarily a bad thing.

I just don't think that they should restrict private ponds that have no
influence on native water ways.
