This plant grows out from the back of a local retention pond that is less than a year old near Houston. I was thinking about transplanting some to my pond but would like to know what it is first.

If you recognize it, would you recomend it?

Many thanks.

I wouldn't transplant it. Look for some American pondweed

That's it. Thanks for both the ID and recommendation.
