Tricotyledons ?

[Flummery]

Oh lets hope so. However, it's more likely to be a reflection of the year the seeds set?

I had a Black Velvet Geranium (T&M) surprise me like that! It all adds to the interest.

Ive had this happen in the past on home saved seed from toms,peppers and aubergines!!!I just grew on as normal and they were just as good as 'normal plants'.

Definitely an aubergine thing, I’ve also got one growing (Chinese ancestors). It will be interesting to see how the ‘trio’s’ progress. I'm guessing they will do just fine. I like the idea its a sign of a good summer

Also have a tricotyledon - ROMA tomato, as per shirlthegirl43.

It's been kept primarily as a bit of a curiosity, picked out and grown on in a rootrainer to see what happens next. Yesterday I noticed that it's now coming through with 3 true leaves.

I had put the triplet seed leaves down as "a phase" for this particular plant initially, but maybe not!

My De Barbentane aubergine is coming on great and despite it's strange three leaved start it now looks totally normal and only has the normal number of proper leaves.

Oooo me too...one of my Numex Twilight chilli seedlings has three leaves - a twilight zone mystery for a twilight chilli

my Sweet Olive toms are doing that also

Just checked my 29 aubergine seedlings...all just two leaves...maybe things would have been different if I'd sown another 14???...too late to check on my earlier sowings as they have several leaves now...which has reminded me to check if they need watering...they're on a bedroom windowsill & keep getting neglected!Cheers!

I have a couple of those too, I think it was a couple of my Parsnips, will check when I get home!

Woke up this morning to find that one of my sunflower seedlings leaves has partially separated down the middle so it now look like its got a double conjoined leaf on one side!

[lainey lou]

I have one too!
One of my marigold seedlings has three leaves! Yay!!!

[Flummery]

My original one - in the first pic - now has 3 true leaves too. I can't tell from the little furled clump in the middle if the next lot will be a trio though. Interesting this, isn't it?

[veggielover]

having read this thread i've been to check on my seedlings........ all mine have the usual 2 leaves i feel as though i'm missing out on something now!!

'ere we go - a picture of my Tomato Sweet Olive proudly showing his (are Toms male, I guess they must be!) Tricot



You can just see the start of the true leaves in the centre - the one of the right being clearly only dicot - poor thing, it'll need therapy
