Weird seedling

Woodsville, NH(Zone 4a)

This is a Double White x Butterfly seedling. It grew strange from the start and stayed bent over with it's head in the dirt for days before it fully popped up.It's only about 1 1/2 inches high , has one main trunk and two branches on the top.These are planted in cell packs with one seed to each cell. None of the other seedlings have grown like this one.

Maybe it will be a rare beautiful mutant! I keep telling myself that's what I am... Especially with all the gray hair and wrinkles showing up daily.....Grin Where is Owen?!!!--- I'm waiting for a comeback from you Owen

Hey, that one's already y'd, should be blooming soon. Looks like it's going to be siamese twins, or triples, way to go......... Hope it turns out to be something really "good".

very interesting.

Cedar Key, FL(Zone 9a)

Could be a sport starting on it already,with a triple striped pink and yellow!!!!

North Vancouver, BC(Zone 8b)

Cool!

Keep an eye on it, you may get something interesting.

What a neat find. Keep us updated on how it grows!

Very strange.

Ellabell, GA(Zone 8a)

That is strange, it looks like two plants fused togheter.

Chariton, IA(Zone 5b)

Hope this continues to grow. Will be interesting to see what it grows into.

Snow,
I have exactly the same with a Mayaseedling. Itīs an Albino,probably it will not grow...

I very hope yours will grow and flower.

Bodrum, Turkey(Zone 10a)

It will be ineresting to see what it grows into, it definately has a siamese thing going.....

Woodsville, NH(Zone 4a)

It is very different looking next to all the other seedlings. I'm curious too what it will grow into. I'll keep you all updated.

I can't wait to see that one bloom. Has anyone had any tri-cotyledons from their seedlings. I've had a few, but they seem to be pretty rare as well. I like the seedlings that show unusual traits right from the start, but I haven't had any luck with them turning into anything spectacular later on yet. Still, perhaps breeding them to each other might prove interesting...or not. Still, one never knows unless one tries.

Woodsville, NH(Zone 4a)

Good to see you Eric. No tri-cotyledons here. This was the only strange seedling I had.


None here either. I guess they are more frequent by Daturas where I have seen a lot, but the Brugs are all with two seedleaves. L`Amour x Hofwil and Hofwil x L`Amour has developed the first true leaves and so have half of the crosses. What I am more excited about is these three aurea seedlings I mentioned last summer. One has two true leaves as well and I keep imagine their parent aureas growing wild in Colombia and what they looked like? Its like having nature growing wild in a pot.

Woodsville, NH(Zone 4a)

Tonny, I hope that those aurea's will produce some beautiful flowers for you. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you get something terrific.

rural, WY(Zone 3a)

No tri-cots either, but I had mentioned that some sanguineas had sprouted with one cotyledon. They have become normal plants also.

Brugvalley, Germany(Zone 7b)

I have lots of tri-cots, special from candida and aurea seedlings.


Thanks Terry. I just looked at the picture with your "Double" seedling again. I noted not only there is two sets of seed leaves, but the stemm seem to be partly divided (probably down to the roots). I am not an expert, but these seem like siamese twins. Maybe the pollen divided after pollination or the egg cells tried to divide, but didn`t manage. Will you keep me up on the progress. I am very curious, if each of the two grown together seedlings also will have different genes and also the nature of base sports, if these will look like one or the other seedling? My idea is - provided that this is two seedlings with different genes - , that the base sports from the left side will match the left parent and sports on the right the right parent.

Woodsville, NH(Zone 4a)

That would be really cool. This seedling is growing, but very slowly. Each side has a set of new leaves. The leaves and size of the plant are much smaller than the other seedlings from the same cross.
