Pond Plants

Ponds are full of green, growing things! Lily pads float on the surface with beautiful white or pink flowers. Cattails grow tall at the pond's edge — their brown, fuzzy tops look like corn dogs! Duckweed is the tiniest floating plant — it covers the surface like a green blanket. Algae is the green, slimy stuff on rocks — it is actually millions of tiny plants! Underwater, pondweed and water milfoil wave in the current.
