I went out around 2:00 pm on April 14th, 2021. I saw these plants growing in the pond. There is only one area of the pond that had plants growing. This plant grew in patches, there were about 2-3 bigger patches. I saw that a lot of the leaves were dried or had holes in them. Perhaps the poor quality of the water, or the very hot weather contributed to the yellowing leaves. I know most plants that grow on the water in large patches with large leaves typically flower. However, I could not see any flowers at this time. This could have been due to the season or that the plant was not in a very healthy condition. The leaves were about 6 inches in length, and had stems extending in all different directions.
