Puzzle time

[Snadger]

I recieved a free packet of T&M preennial flower seed mixture when I bought another two packets of seed.

I diligebntly sowed them in a seed tray without covering the seed as directed.

This is what I've got :-



Growing Instructions :- Transplant seedlings, when large enough to handle into 3 inch pots!
There must be 1000 seedlings there and the seed packet has over 50 perennnial flower varieties in it.

Anyone recognise anything there? I've got the list and will check it off and pot it up if you give me directions!

Escholzia, echinops, echinacea, digitalis, aquilegia, coreopsis, echium, delphinium, larkspur........

The only one included out of that list is Delphinium...............where are they?

poppy ?
ah, i missed the "mix" part, guess what my free seed was

19th row from the top, 16th seedling from the left I dunno
Its the one that looks like a buttercup leaf!

[Snadger]

I've found before with these mixes that if you only grow on the what look to be strongest plants you miss out all the rare good perennials.
I grew this mix last year and the only one I could identify was the Verbascum, purely because of its silvery leaves.

Ok, theres a biggun at the back and a similar one at the front with a ribbed leaf..............any ideash?

[Bigmallly]

Only thing I can suggest Snadge is to get some modules & put the same looking ones into rows.

[Baldy]

I think you need to prick them all out into modules and come back to us in 4 months with some photos...

we like photos...

.............we also like flowers

The leaf with the scalloped edge, to the right of the big leaves at the top, looks like a poppy.

Thanks VC but there aint no poppies (Papaver) in the mix. I could give you the full list but I'll be here all night!

Some of the ones I should be able to guess are :-

Achilia,Allium,Aquilegia,Dianthus,Euphorbi, Lupin and Verbascum by there leaf shape/colour

. The other 43 I can't ecen pronounce never mind identify!

[veggiechicken]

I think your list is wrong!

[bramble]

I think there are a few Foxgloves in there and perhaps Persamon.

Digitalis is on the list and if you mean Penstemon? they are there too............somewhere!

Defeatist attitude VC!
