Vegitable - looks like some kind of bulb, but the iris in larger picture grows on ryzome.

 

Swimming snail.
An onion.
Tulip Bulb.
Proberbly none of these........Interesting....
Watch this space .???????????

 

probably a bulb dug up by a squirrel, that's somehow landed in your pond! Let's have a pic if it flowers in there, Waco! You are going to leave it, aren't you??

 

There are several of them - oh my golly gosh!

May be leave some in and plant some up???

 

:D :D :D

 

Aquasnail - The Movie? :D

 

YES they are goldfish, anyone want any they breed like mad!

as to the vegetable in question, if I am under instruction to leave it then of course I will, but do I leave it in the water or plant it in a pot?

 

Go on waco - leave it in the pond!! Maybe not all of them, just one to see what happens - maybe the fish will eat it?? Although lots of bulbs are poisonous, so maybe you should really hoick it out.

 

Could be a very rare breed of algi maker,Get it out quick...........................

 

Have you cut one in half Waco?
Presume it is a bulb and not a seed head from something growing around the pond.

 

Now there is a point - cut it in half. Its nothing from round the pond as pond in my "Italian garden" and to create this (NOW ALL COVER YOUR EYER) I had to dig out a most gorgeous russet apple tree.........oh how could I do it, they were all such deliceous apples.

Only other thing in the pond is a latent plant that has a leaf like an arrow.

funny but from replies, the picture does look like a snail.

 

since this piccy i have noticed that my bluebell bulbs, look remarkably similar when they are dug up and left on the surface
