The pond weed looks like duck weed . I had it in my pond and it got worse and worse until i removed most of the fallen leaves out of the pond . It stopped all light getting under the surface which eventually led to my sticklebacks dying out . I now do not let any fallen leaves etc drop to the bottom of the pond , and now all the duckweed has gone .
In that case well done you, and a very good job you didn't hoick out those seedlimgs. If they have self seeded and set up their own colony you really have something to be proud of

I’ll get some pics posted just to make sure I’m not confusing the meconopsis with something else.
Right, I've found a few more photos of the ponds development and the infamous poppy. With the last pic I think showing the seedlings from 2018. All primulas were grown from seed.
Managed to brave the rain and take a snap of new seedings: 4 in total. They are from the 2019 flowers as there weren’t any meconopsis horridula in 2020.
Congratulations! If your plants seem happy then maybe leave some seedlings to grow on where they fall, removing others to grow on yourself, as you clearly have the magic touch
It would be a good idea to go over that area before seed drop, carefully removing all those aquilegia seedlings, and anything else potentially thuggish, before they get chance to take over the area. I love them and have deliberately allowed them to do just that in a difficult area, and they look lovely, but there isn't anything more precious growing there!
