All these were new in the pond this year - just shows how warm it's been and
how ideal the conditions for these plants. I don't know their botanical
names but to us they are water cabbage, water hyacinth and water
forget-me-not, as far as I know. The pond is now so smothered with them
that we have to remove most of it to a tank in one of the greenhouses. If
we don't, the fish run out of space - there is one tiny corner left free -
or the plants will die at the first frost and we don't want either of those
to happen.
