I was recently traveling in northern Florida, and I noticed a type of pond plant in the golf course ponds that was abundant in shallow water.
It was emergent (rooted underwater, but majority is out of the water) and flowering. The flowers were small and white, but the buds were very large, green, and round. The plant's stem was about 2 1/2 feet tall, but the leaves were only about 1 foot tall. The leaves were long, thin, and pointed, and grouped close together around the bottom of the stem. With permission, we dug a plant out to look at its roots. They were all about 1/2 a foot long, thick, and white.
I can't seem to identify it at all, and I have a project on pond plants. I'd like to use this plant if I can figure out what it is.
Thanks!
