Peter Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Attention all plant experts: A friend of mine is clearing his backyard pond and has literally bucketloads of various plants in there. I thought I'd ask for a possible Id of a couple varieties to see if they could be of benefit / worth anything to forum members (or unsuitable for aquariums and/ or fish etc). These are two of the many plant types in his pond. Plant 2 and 3 are the same - just different photo angle Regards Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashley595 Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 1st one looks like elodea the 2nd one could be either hornwort or Cabomba caroliniana aka cabomba green. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chafule Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Yup, looks to me like the left one is Elodea and right one Hornwort. Both fast growers and good at soaking up excess nutrients. Dont let them into the waterways as most creeks around me are already chocked full of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
