A nice surprise!

19 years ago

I started WCW on a flat of seeds at the end of November last year, and put the flat outside at the end of January. When the summer heat got here, I moved that flat, and others with no sprouts, to a shady veranda, and set up a mist head which ran whenever I ran that section of drip irrigation, about every 3 days. I hadn't been on the veranda in over a month, but checked the flats today, and found this:

It's in the right cell to be a Rosa glauca, and it sure looks like a tiny Rose. It's about 1.5" tall, and looking downright healthy! I'll pot it up and give it a shot of ferts, and see if I can get some size on it before winter.

Ummmm... Should have a darker leaf colour. I have Rosa Glauca and even the seedlings which the plants produce have that dark green/purplish hue colour in the leaf. Too dark to take a picture right now, but if I remember tomorrow, I'll take one and show you. I had at least 6 seedlings this year from Ma Nature. Whenever I've tried, it's been a no-go - unless I throw the non-germinated containers in a lasagna bed for the next year. Then they show-up everywhere.

Definitely a rose so you could be in for a most wonderful surprise!
