Not Olsynium junceum (1577)
« on: July 15, 2024, 10:54:43 AM »
I'm not sure what the seeds will grow into, but it looks like it might be a Sisyrinchium? If you donated or received these seeds please make a note of it not being Olsynium junceum, compare with the Holubec collection of the same species:

I sowed Olsynium junceum seeds in June and it looks rather like the pot on the right: fine ‘hairs’ coming out of the ground, even though there are now 2 hairs per plant!

Véronique,

I have not seen Olsynium juncium seedlings recently enough to remember what they looked like.  I do know that the adult foliage is quite coarse.  It is possible [even likely] that juvenile  foliage exhibits considerable variation
