They were common in the shallow end of the ponds

I haven't had time to look for them here.
(No ponds within a mile of me.)

I mention it only because they are very edible ..........I live on a slew with at least 5 acres of the things....

As far as I know, they grow just about

natural ponds. That only rules out some
desert and some mountainous land.

I live on the side of a small mountain.
