Germinating now- - photos of seedlings

and they continue to grow beautifully :-)

Sorry, not a good photo. Can anyone tell me what this might be. I did not see a cotyledon it just came straight up. Sown 2 Oct germinated 4 Jan
 I found a small ziplock numbered 9026 in my seed box. It might have come from Chinese Alpines in 2019 or even '18. That number doesn't occur in their last list however. I sent an email but have not had a reply as yet.
Thank you

even if I do not know what it is, resp. it can be anything from China: it looks very interesting and healthy. I personally love such "surprise packages" :-) Maybe an assignment is possible when one or two pages are fully unfolded. At the moment I could only say what it is not, but with the plant diversity in China you probably do not use it. Pay attention to whether it is being wooded.

Hi Erle, does it have a square stem? It looks a bit like Verbena bonariensis.

[Menai]

No, quite round.
I will post again when the leaves are more developed. I am just worried that I will ignorantly manage to kill it, something I am sadly quite good at.
Thank you for your responses.

It looks trifoliate to me and possibly hypogeal ( the cotyledons hidden underground)....you are not the only one is this large world of seed sowers who can excel in ignorantly killing seedlings... I can easily relate to that...I might even receive a prize for it....

at the base of the seedling, these are bracts.?

 it had germinated underground and made a dormant bud at ground level, perhaps?

I also love these surprise plants, it is exciting!
on the other hand, if the mystery lasts, it is necessary to baptize them, would be only with a ridiculous name or a nickname, because otherwise one finds oneself the following winter with a pot without label.

 I thus lost an interesting seedling pot from last year. I no longer know where he is when I know that his vegetative cycle had started in January. I hope I didn't throw this jar away ...

In vitro is sometimes very easy with terrestrial orchids, i've several boxes of Anacamptis pyramidalis and Ophrys doing well. Most are 2 and 3 years old.

Trollius lilacinus (syn. Hegemone lilacina), sown 22 December 2019, first germinated 17 Januari 2021. Seeds from Holubec ex Kazachstan.

[Véronique Macrelle]

Hegemone lilacina is a magnificent plant! It is not easy to germinate is it?

 Yann: good result for in vitro culture, but isn't it difficult to take them out of their sterile environment? should we give them mycorrhizal fungi?
do you also succeed seedlings which do not dare in vitro? (I have Orchis purpurea in the garden) then I could try, I don't have any volunteer seedlings, but I think it's because of the slugs.

Bonjour Véronique 
As far as I know, most orchids only need the symbiotic mushrooms to germinate.
However, there are always discussions about "protective mushrooms" With Cypripedium acaule
and Orchis mascula I could well imagine that. Orchis purpurea doesn't seem easy to grow.
Others are much easier. Maybe Yann can post more of his experiences here?

greetings

100% germination of F₂ Lessingia leptoclada!

Massonia bredasdorpensis seedlings

[Yann]

Frozen, not the cartoon, no seedlings

[Véronique Macrelle]

it is -5 ° C in the greenhouse, the soil in the pots is completely frozen, and has not thawed for 4 days ...: will that harm the seeds that were germinating?
