    I've been trying to identify this water plant which I had to find a new home for over the weekend. My first guess is it's a Water Arum (Calla palustris) but I'm not sure. It survived a frozen pond over the winter and is in flower now which has a pleasant but faint aroma. At the moment it's about 12" above the waterline, the 'bulb' resembles a short fat leek and I'm fairly certain it's not a Zantedeschia

    Anyone know for sure what it is?
