Duckweed Gardening 
On the very last day of this year, I found some semi-local, accessible duckweed. I was hoping for Lemna when I saw it from a distance, but alas, it appears to be Wolffia. But there’s a lot of it. Can’t be choosy, I guess.
Thanks for the website, Tamra!

Sue, hooray for the find! On New Year’s Eve, no less… Take a good look at your sample. You may find a bit of Lemna minor or Spirodela here and there. Either one may accelerate growth and crowd out the Wolffia as nutrients and weather temps play their part in the scenario of “Domination of the Duckweed Pond.” You can always hedge your bets by segregating out the Lemna or Spirodela and growing them separately. I’ve got entire wading pools that were bioprospected and ID’d as Wolffia. When the cooler weather arrived, Lemna minor began growing like mad and now I can’t find ANY Wolffia in those ponds.
Happy New Year to you, my friend. May your life be filled with contentment, laughter, and a bit of adventure.
Cheers,
Tamra
