the name this plant game, fun for the family

You can grow it floating or wedge it between rocks at edge of pond but it can become invasive if you don't have koi to eat it. It is easy to pull out though, so not too much of a concern.

It didn't survive my winter but for others it comes back.

That one is easy.. it's anacharis.

Submersible or floating is fine. Goldfish love it to lay eggs and Koi eat it.

I've seen this one in our local water garden but I cant remember its name. It's a marginal plant..... Yellow flowers I think.

We are 6b, the pond I have parrots feather in freezes solid (fishless pond, shallow) the stuff comes back every year. Looks like dead mush in the spring.

Elodea is a type of Anacharis right?

 

[Meyer Jordan]

It's vice versa. Anacharis is a specie of Elodea (Elodea canadensis).

my guess is marsh willow?
it appears to have a woody stem

Plant 3- may be a Potamogeton sp. like natans. It is a submerged plant. Just a complete guess though.
