What do you think?
I'm hopeful!
(This was outside all winter, so I don't know ...)
Baby brugs or wishful thinking ?
GL, I don't want to be the one to tell you, so I'll let someone else answer, lol.(I think you need to come see me)
I didn't think so either:) but didn't want to tell her first.
I was holding back and am glad you two gals showed up.
I had Datura seedlings last year that looked just like that
Does not look like Dats to me.:0)
I guess you can tell I'm a half-full cup kind of person (as opposed to a half-empty).
If it's datura, I'll be happy too.
Callalily, do you have brugs to share this year? If so, I'll have to come to Knoxville soon. You were so generous to me last year, and I loved having brugs for the first time ever.
GL, I always have brugs to share with you, lol. Just come on down, we might even find one with a bud.
Better get there before I show up with a tractor trailer!!!!
I'm just judging these by the stem color and the single leaves still coming out,will be interesting to see what they are.
They look lie milkweed seedlings to me..put a stake next to them and wait and see what they turn into. :-)
I'm with eclipse, they look like my scarlet milkweed volunteers.
did you have datura anywhere near that spot? I have volenteers by the milliions last year-----not that I dont like datura mind you---------:) just WOW they self seed in a major way.
UGGH! Scarlet milkweed A. curassavica .... Have a native garden and 3 years ago innocently thought this one was native, Not! for every one I pull three pop up some where else.
I have since replaced it with A.pernnis and A. incarnata . But till this day I'm pulling these guys on a daily basis! : )

The seedling reminds me of a kind of weed that grows overly on this side of the pond. They get small clusters of white to pink flowers and too many seeds *lol*

Tonny_and Lene,
Even thou I'm complaining about A. curassavica , It still is an important food source for our Monarch butterflies...
Both the adult butterflies as well as larval depend greatly on all species of this plant here. Unfortunately I have found the non native A. curassavica to be devastated by a aphid like bug that feeds exclusively on them. Hope your weed over there does some good as well :)

Playndirt, I had a datura about 25 feet away. Come to think of it, they do resemble the datura seedlings I have growing under lights.
After reading all these answers, I feel like I should pull up the seedlings. I'll wait until I get ready to plant something in there and am caught up with yard work. Ha! That's kinda like 'when pigs fly.'
