Hello,I have a pond plant that is a bit of a mystery. Got it from a postal nursery in the Netherlands but it's does not appear to be what I expected. Any ideas? Has very long roots that lay on the surface and upright green leaves that appear on long risomes.

Hope the photo is attached.

    Try reducing the size of the photo ... that usually works image

    After you've clicked on Open, do you see the progress bar moving from left to right at the bottom of the message pane?
    Some find reducing the size of the photo helps

    How interesting - looks like a hosta, I know they're keen on moisture, but I wasn't aware they could grow under water, so it's probably something completely different. Will be interested to find out too what it is

    I think it's probably Calla palustris.
