Thanks, Julie (and Melbob!). That's a fun photo. Looks like duckweed all around the nardoo (now that I know what Nardoo is -- I thought it was Water Clover...) ~Lydia
This is fabulous Julie but you forced me to admit my ignorance... soooo... I googled and found this reference to 'Nardoo'
"It survives long, hot, dry summers and grows in wet situations. It's one of those typically Australian plant oddities. It looks like a clover, but it's not. It looks like a waterlily, but it's not one of those either. In fact it's a rare, unusual plant related to ferns."
