strange, looks like siamese twins

Please,please
Snow, keep us updated! Most time one will pass(here) I really would like to see the growing on.

Ellabell, GA(Zone 8a)

That looks like two plants that fused together, maybe two seeds where stuck to each other. It would be cool if it had different flowers.

North Vancouver, BC(Zone 8b)

That is neat Snow. I wonder how that happened.

This was from one seed and I think Barb also got a Siamese Twin from another cross of mine. I'm curious how hers is doing. Oh Baaarb, how is your weird seedling doing?

Grass Lake, MI(Zone 5a)

That is cool Terry. Looks healthy. Will be neat to see what becomes of it.

snowhermit , Have a couple that came up this way as well... It makes me wonder thou if trimming the stronger side down so the weaker one will not become overpowered might be an experiment worth trying? My thought is to see if both sides produce the same sort of flower?

Those are my thoughts as well John. I don't know if it will ever get to flowering size but I'm going to try to keep it growing and see what each side gives for flowers.

snowhermit, Here is one of my weird seedlings,( Please ignore chewed lower leaves dang snails!). The other one I have is more like yours with a very weak side and one that is stronger. The one in the pic is a suaveolens x versicolor orangey . Both of the seedlings I have like this were not damaged at an early stage but literally came out of the seed with two growing tips? It will be fun to see what they do!

That's cool John! Both sides on yours look strong and you have a good chance of seeing flowers this year. I'm real curious if the flowers will be the same or different on these.

Chariton, IA(Zone 5b)

Maybe that poor baby on the left just needs more light. LOL!! I have one in the greenhouse that did this too. Don't remember which seed it came from. Mine split quite wide though and doesn't make as much of a V. Looks more like it is branching out to bloom and it is only about 4 inches tall. It is definitely not growing as fast as the other seedlings.

Wow! I love these weirdlings *lol* I wonder if their explanation could be, that there was two embryos (seedling that has not come out of the seed yet) in one seed coat. I know from willows that for ex. two branches would graft on eachother naturally, when they grow extremely close and the wind make them rub against each other. Perhaps it is the same thing we see here, but with developing Brugmansia embryos?
