So this year someone, actually two someones, gave me some pickerel weed.
First of all, I love it. It's an awesome hearty plant. Last weekend, the
wife and I were cleaning up the pond, pruning, etc. When I pulled the
pickeral weed up, we found that it was massively overgrowing the container.
Once we got done cleaning, I was tired and just tossed the whole plant into
the pond on a shelf. Anyone ever done this? No pot...just raw plant sitting
in the pond?

Hey BV

I've got a picture of you next year with your PW.

Remember this is a picture of what MIGHT BE (a ghost of pondtime
future?). Thus it hazyness.
(actually MS Photodraw does not treat any picture format other than it's
own .mix, favorably.)

LOL! Yes, that looks about right.

IMO, anything that can outgrow it's pot in one season shouldn't be turned
loose in the pond, a better pot (higher sides) is in order. ;o) ~ jan
