Semiaquilegia ecalcarata 'Australian'?
« on: February 10, 2011, 03:07:56 PM »
I got these seeds as Semiaquilegia ecalcarata 'Australian', they germinated in 11 days.
Am pretty sure they aren't what they should be but am wondering if someone might be able to ID them.
I know they're tiny but any help will be appreciated. :)

Semiaquilegias they ain't! Further than that, you'll have to wait and see. ???

Maybe an arabis, aubrieta or something else in the brassicaceae?

Lesley, I'll grow them on a bit more to see if they give up their secrets. ???

I'm speculating, but they look more like Compositae seedlings to me. Maybe sowthistle? I hope not.

Update on the seedlings.
Am hoping someone might be able to ID these now.

Btw, I did get two seedlings that are aquilegias of some sort.

These are not a Semiaquilegia, whose young leaves are approximately like those of true Aquilegia.

Lesley, I am hoping someone can ID whatever these seedlings are.
They look a bit like petunias to me.
I did get two aquilegias of some sort from the seeds.
Will be very happy if they turn out to be the Australian version, I think it is a very pale pink but not sure.
