Is picture #4 a closeup of pic #2?

Yes, that's the same plant.

I just didn't realize they were the same plant.

What is the grass looking plants on picture 3?

The grass could be a number of things. I couldn't tell you from the picture. Anyone else?

I think #3 is probably an Eleocharis species. Might be worth trying.

The red plant is Ludwigia palustris.

And yes, every Callitriche I've ever tried has died over the winter. On one occasion, it reappeared in the spring. That doesn't mean that will always happen, but since we have Elatine americana, which looks amazingly similar and doesn't die over the winter, it's not as big a loss.

Yes; unfortunately the Callitriche's are annuals. Even so, they are still nice additions to a pond or water garden. Simply take a cutting and plant.

Lets go Pens!!!!!

Cheers.

There are quite a few plants that are annuals in nature but will keep going when cultivated under the proper conditions. Some do, some don't; you just don't know until you try.

Go Pens!
