2nd year seedlings

Post by pauhaus »

I just thought I'd share some pics of some 2 year old seedlings of mine. I have been enjoying the pics of everyone's babies this year. :P

This baby is from some op Stingray seeds. It's kind of bluish with good substance and nice waves.

Here's another from the same seed batch, op Stingray. It's my favorite seedling.

This one is weird. I had one plant last year, and now have three perfectly spaced and almost looking identical to each other. Must be rhizomatous. I have no idea about parentage.

I agree!! :P All look good, but that middle one's ripples & coloring sure caught my eye. 8-) The green one reminds me a bit of Permanent Wave [but not the new eyes evenly spaced part].

I like the color on the first one, that limey green. Nice waves too. Isn't it fun to watch how they get bigger each year, and the changes they go thru. Kind of like watching my kids grow up :P
