Hello Kelly,

Right now since winter is wrapping-up, most of the surface aquatic plants [lily or watershield (Brasenia)], are not present. Plus, since all my ponds [3/4 acre, 1 acre & 2 acres] were so low for so long, all the aquatic vegetation has perished from the normal water-line. Now that the ponds are full, nothing is around the water lines except non-aquatics like goat weed. Therefore, I have no pictures.

My question was one of proactiveness, in eradicating the "round-floating-pads" before they took off again. They became so thick they took-up the entire water surface, except in the very deep areas [6+ ft] of water.

Finally, the picture of the lotus being sprayed by plane, where is that? Is that in Sugarland? There is a lake fairly close [East of Hwy 6] to Kempner Highschool that was over-taken by a floating vegetation for yrs that looked like the lotus plant. When I went by there 4 weeks ago, I actually saw alot of the water...slim chance of the same place, but you never know.

Thank you for your help,
rain
