Nymphoides peltata
floating heart

Common name floating heart
Family menyanthaceae

Floating plant with attractive rounded leaves and golden yellow flowers. Reported to spread aggressively when it's happy. Ours is nicely contained in our small patio pond.

We left this plant behind in our Pennsylvania garden (and wish it well); we don't grow it in Houston.
