    What is this growing in my pond ?

    This plant has seeded itself in my pond and it's pretty rampant. It has a strong minty-ish smell, stronger than normal mint and a lovely pink flower. I cut it right back every year as I haven't the heart to get rid of it because it attracts bees etc. But it really grows aggressively.

    Can anyone identify it please ?

        A cup of mint tea perhaps to celebrate

            Feeling jealous Marb. Water Mint is fantastic. Wish I was able to grow it

              It's easy. Even grows in a pot. if I can grow it anyone can.

                Must admit, if you put it in your pond the problem becomes stopping it from growing. It doesn't half take over if you let it! It smells lovely when you're pulling it out, though.
