Be very, very careful of transferring plants from local bodies of water (BOW)if you don't know exactly what they are. For instance, if you accidentally transfer Eurasian Water Milfoil, you could end up with the majority of the pond covered with growing weeds from the pond bottom all the way to the surface, so thick that you can't get a trolling motor thru them.
Good point. Also some of the local water lilies could turn out to be lotus and take over the pond. They could have invasive plants attached to them.
At least get someone very knowledgable to indentity what you intend to plant. You have been forewarned. Just trying to be helpful.
