A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Plants and Flowers Forum Mystery Plants? My mystery

Okay, don't laugh at me....I get excited and throw seeds into containers and don't label them or anything.....once a plant flowers I'm pretty good with an ID generally, but I don't know what this is:



Or this with the pinkish tipped leaves:



Ummmm, help!

I have a whole box full of something and I have no clue what's in it!

The top one is Cleome, or Spider flower. Not sure about the other one...looks like it could be a celosia or an amaranthus.

Awesome Alan! Thank you, at least now I know I have a box full of Cleomes!

I've only ever had one of those before so that's why they probably did't look to familiar to me.

Every year I say I'll label my seeds, and each year that comes and goes I don't!

Nobody knows my second plant?

I know! I know! Ummm. It's ummmm. SHoot. You can grow it in the water as a marginal plant. I'll look it up and find it for you. I was really close to getting one a few weeks ago at the nursery. Shoot.

Okay, I'm impressed I found that way to quick. Here you go!
