I have some seedlings coming up. I'm really hopeful that they're what I planted, and not volunteers!
This one is where I planted the columbine seeds.
 -
And this is where I planted Mexican petunias.
 -
I know they're not the best pics...but do they sorta kinda look like may be they could be? [Wink]

Thanks!

This site has pictures of seedlings for a lot of plants and may help you identify what you have there. It uses the scientific names though so ... I always have to look them up before I can find them lol.

Mary,
The top one doesn't look like Columbines seedlings to me..at least not any of the variety
I have....

Don't know what a Mexican Petunia seedling looks like, but I know G~mom had some growing...
Maybe she can help identify them for you???

Oh, BTW - about that top one - the wee greenie with the round leaves? I've got one of those too -I'm just waiting to see what it does.

I have only experience of UK planting with columbine , but the top pic doesn't really look like aquilegia, the secondary leaves would be more deeply lobed.

I think your search goes on.

Well, I've got more seedling growth - most of the stuff was that 'delightful' weed that comes up everywhere - the 'flea beetle snack weed' [Big Grin] I pulled those out, along with a few volunteer grasses...and have a few seedlings left. I'll get out tomorrow to play in the rain. Errrr, I mean to get more pics...I'm still hopeful they are what I hope they are (huh?) [Wink]

In the second pic,in the lower right hand corner,looks like it might be mexican petunias,but it was really hard to tell.

I second G~mom's question Mary......

ANY NEW PICTURES??????

Dyin' to see what they look like now...
**Sometimes, some seedlings are hard to tell by,
but if we get consecutive pictures in a row,
we'll be able to tell**

Sorry, I totally dropped the ball! Here are some pics...they are horrible [Mad] I really need a new camera!

Geesh, these are really bad. Okay, this is what I think are supposed be the mexican petunias (alongside a june bug carcass - which I am proud to say I was able to scoot over with my finger LOL)
 -  -

These are weeds that I took pictures of earlier...  -

Too much caffeine, I guess [Wink]

Anyway, pics#1&2 seedlings (much smaller than weeds) are also a darker green. 2 leaflets each. very close to the soil right now, rounded leaves, don't think they've got serrated edges.

Now for a the columbine, I hope [Wink]
 -

Of course while I was out I started snapping pics of other mysteries, which I'll now go put in the mystery forum [Wink]

Thanks!

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR [Mad]
So I been waterin the weed that's growing all over my driveway [tears] I shoulda recognized that...the red stems and all. Grumble. Back to an empty pot...for now. still hoping the columbine comes up next year after overwintering (pouty graemlin)

I know the first pic is nearly impossible to make out. Now that the original weed in question is big enough to ID, I've been able to knock that off the list of potential mexican petunias...I'm hoping these aren't the same weeds in miniature - but it's very possible...guess we'll wait and see [dunno]
