Interesting plants are already in the puddles, here in Mississippi. We have had frequent rains, and the water table has got right up to the soil surface. I noticed plants in the roadside ditches that I never saw in the summer. One of them is a light green small plant with opposite linear submersed leaves that become oval at the surface. The fact that it has submersed leaves different from its floating leaves means It might be adaptable for the aquarium. Another has small floating leaves. Both these plants are numerous in the puddles, and I have no idea what they are. They are gone in the summer, and that tells me that local aquatic plants may be seasonal. You can't go out in the summer and expect to find all the possible species.
It was raining too hard today to take any pictures, but I will go out tomorrow and look at a number of ponds and ditches and get some pictures. (if it isn't raining too hard tomorrow!)
