I planted most of these last summer in a old farm pond next to my house. I used north american native aquatic plants with one exception.

First is ludwigia glandulosa

Next is L. repens

Here is the only exception to the native plants. I really didn't expect this to live through the winter but it's doing pretty good. Here is rotalla rotundifolia

Here is a plant I found the other day while on a atv ride. It was growing in a small waterhole. It was in an area that use to have homes 50+ years ago but are now long gone. I looked around the area in other waterholes and the stream that ran through the area but found it nowhere else except that hole. Looks kinda like a amazon sword.

Just thought I would share.
 
Nice! That is how I used to collect all my plants when I lived in a location where they were available (VT). Now live in the city where I wouldn't put any of those "wild catches" in a tank. Too dirty w/runoff.
