I've merged your two plant ID threads.

Might need to give them a few days to unfurl. They're pretty unhappy right now.

The baby teats one looks kind of like hemianthus umbrosum (aka, the 'other' baby tears). Where was this pond?

The pond is in southern Illinois on private land that my parents neighbors own. They said I could harvest these plants. They were in the shallows really about the depth of my tank. I waded out to get them. could these be non native species from an aquarium?
