Remember that feeling when you see a plant in your home garden blooming for the first time? In this post today I share the Water Hyacinth Blooming in my Dome Garden Pond. Enjoy a fun little video featuring my Pup and the bloom as we found it! There are also some fun facts I found about the water hyacinth in this post.
Water Hyacinth Video

This video is on my YouTube and Facebook Page. Be sure to check out where to find me on my About Page or just search @brenhaas on social.
About the Water Hyacinth
The Eichoohrnia Crassipes (Water Hyacinth)
There is plenty of research and documentation about the water hyacinth on university extension websites. Find yours on my Extension Offices List and search ‘water hyacinth’ on their site. I am will bet money on this plant being invasive (on the naughty list) in your state so be sure to read up on how to grow this plant properly. The Water Hyacinth is NOT native to North America. It was brought here as an ornamental plant from the Amazon.
Images of the Water Hyacinth
Below are a few of my favorite photos from my home garden that were mentioned in the featured video.
In the video, I talk about our big pond. Here is a photo of Oliver coming out of the 1/4 acre pond on our property here in Ohio. The pup loves swimming in the pond so it is important to keep it healthy.

I love seeing the water hyacinth surprise. Bloom surprises are so awesome for a gardener. I think the Dome is why it matured enough in Ohio to bloom for you. And it is a way for a plant to signal a thank you, “I am happy here.”
I love that… and I am happy you are here visiting my site. ((hugs))
Beautiful! This is my favorite water plant. Thanks for sharing! I love seeing things grow inside your dome!
