If it's not too late, could we see your 'up close and personal' shots of your seedlings too?
Peek-a-boo
Way cool sprouts
Facsimile of what you might get if you crossed a mosquito and a house-fly.
#3 - Alien-esque.
Purple Hyacinth Bean
#4 - De-brained.
#5 - Hosta seedling with a tightly coiled leaf.
Same hosta 9 days later. The second leaf has grown, but the first leaf just doesn't want to unfurl!
Fabulous pix Sandy!

The Dragon.
At 13 days old, Nero Di Toscana shows it's texture already.
Thank you, Joanne. Get snappin'!
Sandy
Whiskers at 13 days old.
Painted Sage (Salvia horminium).
Neat pics Sandy
What fun pictures. Better save some of them for the photo contest later this year.
Ann
Fantastic pictures Sandy, but the commentary really makes them shine :-)
--Ginny
Glad you all enjoyed them. Last year at this time, who'd have thought I'd get a kick out of taking macros of seedlings!
Sandy
Those are very cool shots!
I love to see the wee ones. Just something fascinating there and of course the promise of what's to be.
Nice photos Sandy.
Heres one of mine, Pelargonium peltatum 'Summer Showers Mix'

Very cool Steven. Looks like they're having a conversation!
Joanne
LOL Kind of reminds me of Daffy Duck Steven.
--Ginny
Steven, They are just too cute! Daffy Duck is a perfect description! LOL
Please post if you discover any more cool ones.
Sandy
LOL, it does look like Daffy Duck and the one on the right looks like it's blushing the way it's 'head' is tilted :) I wonder what he said?

Heres another, I think this one looks like a sea horse
This ones just sleeping waiting for it's friend to sprout
It's hard to imagine Daffy saying anything romantic, but he sure must have said something nice (or naughty)!
Your first one looks like a Pelican to me and the second one is a Rebel. Remember a few years ago that mens' hairstyle where they had one long piece of hair at the back? I think it was called a rat's tail? Anyway.... reminds me of that! :-)
Sandy
hee-hee These really are way cool. Thanks Steven. I often look for pictures in the clouds, or in things like wallpaper designs, but I've never thought of looking at new little sprouts in that way before.

You mean a mullet (spelling) Sandy? Whatever it is, a woman where I work has one of those and I have no idea what posesses her to do such a thing.......................................................................................................................................................But thats just my oppinion, so please don't be offended anyone if thats your thing :)
Ginny, I'm glad you like my sprouts!
Another good place to look is the stucco on a ceiling....hehehe :)
That is if you're lying down or don't mind getting a sore neck.
Steven
Steven, I think the mullet is short on top, long at the back. The style I mean is where the rest of the hair is very short, except for one long tail an inch or so wide and maybe 6 inces long coming from the nape of the neck. One of my son's friends used to have that style and my hubby used to tease him that he was going to snip it off!
Sandy
Sandy, here is my little Viola coreana "Sylettas" sprouts with the first & second true leaves. They've grown one true leaf at a time after the cotyledons. I really like the little patterns on them. Hopefully it's going to be a good ground cover to compliment my hostas.
Those are lovely, Erynne. I like the leaf markings, too. I have Viola labridorica, which is a purplish one, that I've let reseed as a groundcover around some hostas, but it tends to disappear because it blends in with the soil. I bet those 'Sylettas' would show up much better!
Sandy
Oh, right the rat tail, Sorry......... I got mixed up there. I've seen those before and I bet it would be tempting to snip it off :)
Those are cute little seedlings Erynne!
