For best guess we should see the tips of the stems. From the bottom it looks a lot like a species of spike rush. Seed heads and seeds are important in speciation of the rushes.

If they are spike rush (Eleocharis), in some species the seed head at the tip drops off mid to late summer. Is the stem round in cross section?

I view sedges and rushes as beneficial emergent vegetation and encourage it to grow anywhere I find it. Helps with shoreline stabilization and reduction in bank erosion due to wave action.

That duckweed or watermeal in the photo, however, can pose a real problem if left unmanaged. Might want to keep an eye on it or act on it now.

I hope they are a good idea. I planted some in about 6 places around the main pond. I see some are starting naturally in sediment pond. Probably birds brought in.

Don't know the variety, just that they were common around daughters pond.

Duckweed and the pond has enough water movement that it only grows in a couple of calm areas.

+1 It's certainly a preferred plant in my pond.
