I came across this baby when making room for more babies in the GH today. Aside from the color it appears to be normal and healthy. Thanks for any input, advice, etc...

Gretchen is there any chance that you got fertilized water on the leaves and then the sun hit them? I did that one year and everything looked horrible for quite a while.

Yes Shirley, that's quite possible. I fertilized everything a couple of days ago with Peters Professional at 1/4 strength. I just thought it strange that this is the only thing in my GH that looks like this... Very weird.

Edited to say -- thank you for your idea, Shirley!

Are you sure that is a Dat?Shoot you may end up with a rare varigated Dat!

Hi Root -- yes, wouldn't that be fun? And yes, it is a dat, double yellow. But, I have a feeling it probably is exactly what Shirley said. I will add though, that the leaf shape looks different than the other dats I have growing, and I have 150+. I also got another triple leafed black currant swirl seedling this morning. Don't ask me where I'm gonna put all these, 'cause I'm not quite sure :)

could you tell me how long it took your double yellow to sprout. I have a bunch planted and nothing has happened and itls been 19 days. The white ones sprouted within 5 days but the yellow and double purple are just sitting there. I need help!!

Some of mine sprouted within a week, others have taken up to 32 days. This one was planted in RW and took 22 days...

I planted several varieties of dat seeds on 2/1 and none of the double yellow or purple have germinated yet. In fact, I several varieties that are still sitting there. Do they usually take this long?
