Aquatic Plants From Half Moon Lake

These aquatic plants were collected, dried, and pressed during the summer of 2010. The purpose of this website is to give "Weed Rangers" a headstart in identifying these plants. You are encouraged to copy and paste these color pictures from this web site to your own computer. If you print them out to fit 8.5" by 11" sheets of paper - the resulting images should be life-size. Since I am a novice myself, I consider this web page to be reliable but not perfect. Please write to me at rpm2002@juno.com if you can provide me with corrections or if you can help me add to this library. I will be especially interested if you find an aquatic plant in Half Moon that is not on this site!
