Title: Can anyone ID this seedling?
Post by: maggiepie on March 03, 2011, 12:55:18 PM: This seedling was supposed to be a clematis of some sort.
Doesn't appear to be but can't figure out what it could be.
Not my seedling btw.
Any help would be appreciated. :)

Btw, did your pink scottii get any seeds this year?

To me it looks more like a Clematis seedling than a Cornus. Some of my Clematis-seedlings are very similar.

Sorry, I can't and I don't know either!
I have got some seed from Chris Chadwell named "Clematis sp" from China and the seedlings have all looked similar to that you pictured. The seedlings are 2 years now and hasn't sprouted yet this year. (Hope they have survived the cold winter)
Anyway it is easier to see when the next pair of leaves unfurl.

Helen, I forgot to say they are strong-growing climbing types ;)

I will post more pics later as the seedling puts out new leaves.

Post by: maggiepie on March 05, 2011, 09:58:37 PM: Susan, after seeing today's pic it looks as though the seedling is virginia creeper or boston ivy.
