I bought a bad plant

This is a water hyacinth, and it is an invasive species, but I promised to keep it under control in my little fish pond.
Wikipedia says: Water hyacinth is often problematic in man-made ponds if uncontrolled, but can also provide a food source for gold fish, keep water clean and help to provide oxygen to man-made ponds.
Which is why I did it. That and because I was at Home Depot's garden center yesterday and saw them for sale there. I never would have gone out of my way to find them, but fate put them in my path and I succumbed. 
I also succumbed to Algerian Ivy.
 No doubt this is invasive too. Darn.  I love the huge variegated leaves. I only bought three plants and for some reason this ivy likes the sun, so I will be looking for such a place in the yard today. Not such an easy thing to find.

I also bought two Marvelous Marbles Heuchera, and not because they were pretty. I had to rescue them. Have you ever been in this situation where you see plants hanging on for dear life in a nursery where non-plant lovers work? You know they are neglected and need love (and regular watering!). I had to bring them home, poor darlings.
Still left to plant are some fancy schmancy iris

which I am putting right next the ones I got as tubers in a bag from Walmart. I always go for the real high class garden stuff. Speaking of Walmart, they put their bags of bulbs section on half price and so 20 Stargazers came home with the groceries. I think I'll be in the dirt all day today. How could I resist?

and here is my new laptop. 

I am one happy girl.
