    I don't know pond plants at all :noidea: but some people may like to acquire one when it has been identified.

    Maybe @kindredspirit knows :)

      With those big leaves it looks like a waterlilly. I don’t know for sure, just speculating.

      I used to grow that in my pond when I first built it.
      Cant remember the name.
      Tends to go dormant mid summer.

          The leaves aren't particularly big as the flowers are about the size of cyclamen. :blue thumb:

            Pete is correct.

            Spreads like crazy.
