I don't see any of the bugs, but many of the leaves have little holes in them. Either way, they are not doing much damage and the bugs are not near keeping up with the growth rates.
Snipe - We need a pic of you in the sinking FA barge! That sounds like alot of work and some nervous moments. After looking at the pic of your plants...I wonder if I did not receive some dwarf variety. Mine are not getting tall at all and the leaves are staying pretty small compared to yours. That or my waters don't have what the WH need to grow big, just fast. I think yours will be taking off with the warmer temps.
Thanks for the compliments Joey! If I could keep my standard of living messing with other people's ponds I'd be a happy man.
NEDOC - post some pics please. I am curious how you mixed the floating plants with the emergents (cattails) on your island.
