Help with ID of seedling
« on: March 07, 2012, 03:30:09 PM »
Checking my baggies a few days ago, I found this in a baggie with Clematis texensis seed.
I have no idea what it is, thought it might be a frit until I pulled the seedcase off today. ??? ??? ???

Here is a pic of the seedcase and a pic of the seedling.
I am surprised I didn't notice a ringin with the seeds when bagging them.

Any help appreciated.

The seed case rings a bell Helen but it has slipped away for now. Obviously not a bulb, with two cotyledons. Otherwise, wait and see. :)

Could it be Glaucidium palmatum?

Wow, Roma, you are fantastic. :)

Maggi, so are you!!
Thanks very much.

So the texensis seed donor is out one Glaucidium Palmatum, what a lovely surprise for me.
Hope it's a white one, hope I can keep it alive and hope I live long enough to see it flower...... ;D

Am starting to wonder if the mystery seedling actually is Glaucidium palmatum. ???
Do seedlings look like this?
( hope they do)

I would say Asclepias or something related.
