First two photos are of the same plant. Identification may be a little more difficult due to decay. Notice the berries attached to the stem of the close up. The leaves appear to be spear head shape. ID would be most appreciated.   Next photo is of some obviously hearty grasses taken today. Any ideas or concerns? Thanks

My guess on the first one is Arrow Arum Sagettaria. Where the "berries" a bright green and the leaf stalks like celery?

Unfortunately it is in a state of decay that is difficult to identify based upon color but I did notice that the berries seemed to have course hair or very short rooty extentions coming from them. Berries were attached to the stems not leaves. There is another patch of this plant on the other side of the pond that measures approx. 3' X 5'.

Rainman,
I looked at images of the arrow arum sagiterria. The leaves are much different. Mine look more like a spear head rather that the arrowhead shape.

I had to figure out why you said that Theo. Then you reminded me of Junior Samples.

The bank clerk asked Jr if he could identify himself. IIRC Jr looked around, walked over to & looked into a mirror & declared "Yep this is me"

This thread is sinking fast. Does anybody have any more ideas as to what this could be?

Blaine, did those grasses grow in the water, or did they grow on land, then were flooded?

Blaine: I believe the grass is Southern Watergrass Southern Watergrass The other one is harder because of the decay. Still working on it..... Does it look like this: Lizard Tail

Esshup,
The Southern Watergrass looks pretty close and could be right on. I've just never considered central Indiana as a Southern region. The grass grew in a submerged area. Strange how green and alive it seems at this point in the season.
Don't think the other is lizard tail. My leaves are more of a slender football shape w/o the butt end in your picture. Also the berries are clustered on the stems, not in rows or strings.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

The first one looks like a terrestrial weed that ended up in the pond due to the woody looking stem. Are you sure it grew in the pond?

The grassy one is just that, a grass that has been submerged and its leaves tend to lie flat on the surface, can be pictersque that effect. The leaves are light enough for surface tension to keep it flat on the surface. The other plant does not resemble any of the usual aquatic plant suspects. at a guess some native plant, it does not look like it copes well in an aquatic habitat Regards, andy http://www.flickr.com/photos/21940871@N06/http://s93.photobucket.com/albums/l42/adavisus/

Do the below photos match up to the remnants shown in your first photo? For your sake, I hope not.
