Seedling Identification (pics)

18 years ago

Hi, I was too lazy to be organized when I sowed the seeds. I just roughly sowed by heights of the full plant and thought that when they bloom I will know which is which.

But now some got a little crowded, and I need to transplant them. I need to know whether they are ok to be transplanted, so now I need to identify them.

The possibilities are: Aster, Candytuft, Cleom, Phlox, and Stock. If you recognize any of these, could you let me know by a posting here? Thanks!

Seedling 1:

Seedling 2:

{{gwi:20936}}

Seedling 3:

{{gwi:20938}}

Seedling 4:

{{gwi:20940}}

And then there is this one that I didn't plant. Do you think this might be a hosta? I never had hostas but my immediate neighbor have a lot of them, so maybe a seed somehow jumped to my place. If it is a hosta I will keep it.

Thanks in advance!

I missed one, so I just went out and took a picture of it.

I will call the hosta-like seedling in the previous post Seedling 5.

And this is Seedling 6:

Seedling #5 (hosta lookalike) is the weed Broadleaf Plantain. Sorry, can't help with the others.

Ornata, thanks! That matches my memory and the location where they are planted. I will take them as Stocks.

#3 looks like common weeds i battle everyday .. purslane and maybe chickweed ...

there is a NAME THAT PLANT forum.. and they are real good over there....

one suggestion ...too many pix in one post ... try just 2 .. and then 2 or 3 posts ....... too much rolling up and down.. now that you have a few responses ... hope i counted the pix right.. so you know which i am referring too ...

try popsickle sticks with pencil notations when you scatter seed ... they will NOT overwinter... but they help later in the summer...

i also use... garbage picked mini blinds.. with plain carbon pencil .... last a few years ..

good luck
