Question
I live in East Texas. This plant is growing along the edge of my backyard pond. no flowers. It has vine-like extentions that float on surface of the water.
Answer
Dear Trayburn, good morning again. It looks as though you were successful getting an image uploaded. While the plant is vegetative, it looks like a species of water-primrose(genus Ludwigia), member of the evening-primrose family. Our common species here in the northeast that looks like this is Ludwigia palustris (I am not familiar with all the species that occur in TX, but Ludwigia palustris is found there (this could be that species or one closely related to it). Best wishes.
