We have had a lot of cold winter weather here. A few weeks ago, after a wild freeze and subtle thaw, my son collected wild plants from a frigid swamp nearby.

what does the substrate look like where they came from sandy, gravel?
I'd take a water sample from where you got them & see what it is to 
help them thrive, then I would try & find what kind of plant they are.
