    Default Pond plant ID

    Anybody know what this is? It's growing all around the edge of our pond. The pictures are a little grainy after uploading them but are clear on my phone. Is it duck food?

    Not sure the name but it must be in the same family as tobacco and tomatoes. Green horn worms love it.

    Looks like a Rape seed of sorts to me.

    Is the seed inside the pods black?

    Yes they're black, and growing mostly along the shoreline. It hangs over the water where any waterfowl could reach it if they were interested. We're holding a good bit of ringnecks this year, and I'm wondering if this is what they're after.

    BOG should know.

    We smoked the Black Bellied Whistlers with their craw full of those black seeds last year when we were in S. La. I'm sure ducks will hammer it. Probably how it got transplanted to your place.
