Blooming Anacharis?

Queen Creek, AZ(Zone 9a)

I didn't know that Anacharis flowered! I have some flowering in my pond. It's a little out of reach for my camera so the picture is not very sharp.
The flowers are pale yellow and have three petals. They stand on stalks about 1' to 1 1/2" long
Is this a common event?
I have two reasonable pics so I'll send one here and one later on, if anyone is interested

Sure, post more. I had one bloom, too, but only once. It must have been happy! http://davesgarden.com/t/62378/

Aren't such surprises wonderful?

We have named our biggest plant (the flowering one), "Side Show Bob" after Krusty the Clown's TV stooge on the Simpsons. Well that is what it looks like looking down into the pond :-)
Again, sorry for the lack of good focus, it was difficult trying to shoot and not fall in!

Wow - lots of blooms! Ours only had one flower. I think having it up on the surface has something to do with it. Some folks tie it and weight it so it's down farther in the water.
