We drained the backyard pond Labor Day, and after several years of neglect separated and broke down some of the monster clumps that had grown together (like this one):

Unfortunately, there was no way to tell which plants produced which color flowers, though the biggest one was white. For $5 each + shipping (or pickup at a CCA meeting) you can try your luck with a chunk of rhizome. I can ship them with or w/out roots and leaves attached, won't make a big difference to the plants either way. The chunks are large enough to bloom next year. Best planted in a plastic basket or pot filled with clay, they'll be fine in the water over the winter as long as they don't freeze solid.
