P nd e d <br /> Discussion: Paul Petracca got some good pictures of the weed and it was identified by Jing Straub of <br /> DC .as Pota-mogeton riehardsonii or red-head p n weed. It is a native plant although only noted in our <br /> lake the last few years. Climate change and wanner water probably encouraged the spread. It propagates <br /> through the seeds in the pod on top, so pulling it out would be the best way to prevent spread. It is <br /> mentioned in the" Environmental Impact Deport" according to Andrew. <br /> Conclusions: Although the red-head p nd geed is not an exotic species,members are still concerned <br /> about its spread in the lakes. <br />
