Fringed water lily. Dwarf, edges of the petals serrated. I could dig out a latin name on it?

Is it a problem or not? Who thinks what....?

As the plough is to a meadow, so Nymphoides peltata is to a pond?

Scary stuff Martin, any news on its spread. I have not seen it in the wild (yet) but have seen pictures of it choking ponds.

 I must admit I was thinking more along the lines of red eared terrapins and bull frogs, but invasive and noxious plants are clearly a relevant issue.

For those who want to know more about these plants, information and a freely distributable fact sheet are available at:
