Description
I was amazed to find a pond full of these hyacinth when I pulled off the highway to get the snaps of the flamingos a while back. Surprised as they are barely visible from the road yet cover the water. I know they are a curse as once they are established in a river or dam, they take over. All watersport at Hartbeespoort Dam was clogged for years by these beauties.
Have a great weekend - I will!

What an absolutely gorgeous blossom! The colors are so delicate. Too bad they're so invasive. I've seen a program on public television about water hyacinth in Africa.
hyacinth a curse Never heard of that one But then these are very different hyacinth that I see This one is a beaut and a fav with me Hope you come see my new one.. Hugs Susan~
Beautiful capture. Never heard of the Water Hyacinth until today
What a fantastic shot! I LOVE water hyacinths. We had some in our koi pond a while back and yes, they do spread! I had heard that they are the favorite food of the manatees and they help keep some of the waterways a bit less clogged.
So beautiful!!
