Mystery plant from wrongly labelled seedex seed
« on: July 01, 2015, 08:34:23 AM »
The two plants below came up from seeds incorrectly labelled as Tetraneuris scaposa from this year's SRGC exchange. I'd be extremely grateful if anyone could help with identification.

Cheers,

Erik

Hi Erik
If it starts to "run" it could possibly be Nierembergia repens (syn rivularis) - it has similar foliage,

Could also be Claytonia sibirica.

Thanks a lot, Fermi, Trond & Nicole.

Nicole, which of the two comments do you agree with? :-)

Oups, I just look at your post Erik  ;) It seems like Claytonia sibirica

Do you have got flowers on it ?
