Does anyone recognize this seedling?

It was planted as 'Gypsy Bride', in new dirt so there wasn't anything else in the pot that I am aware of. It looks kind of strange to me.

Another shot

sorta look like a squash seedling.


hopefully Ron will come in soon and look at it. or maybe Emma will know too. or some who have grown it.

My Gypsy Bride seedlings are starting to get their first true leaves . . . I'll compare once I get home from work.

It doesn't look like the Gypsy Bride seeds that I've sprouted.

Ronnie where did you get the seed From?

A trader last year. They all looked like MG seeds. I planted 4 of them, that's the only sprout I got. Strange huh!!

yes but i have one that looks a bit like it its supose to be a sister plant to gypsy bride ill post a pic of it to night i think the name is ten ten saki some thing lol

here it is i for got i took a pic of it last night

Nice image, haven't a clue, time will tell, huh?

Joseph

Something could have popped up in the soil, if the MG seed didn't sprout. I'd watch it though, you have nothing to lose.

Yeah I'm real curious now!! LOL

The seedling shown here

is not an Ipomoea...

IF(!) (and that is a big if) this is anything in Convolvulaceae it is most likely to be something in the genus Convolvulus and from an arid zone...

The first set of true leaves are already producing short spine-like structures and this is relatively unusual...

I'd be interested to see how the leaves continue to develop...

Ron

Thanks Ron, I figured as much but was still hopeful☺ I am going to continue to grow it and see what develops. Maybe as it gets bigger the plant ID forum can help.

You have a mislabeled pot. I`d take inventory and keep an eye out for your gypsy bride sprouts. They are pretty indistiguishable form any other purpurea just at a glance.

Here is a picture of my Gypsy Bride cotyledons.

Nope nothing else in the pot that I put there anyway!! ☺ I'll wait and see...

Ronnie May be its a Mutant Gypsy Bride

Are there seeds that look just like morning glory? It was new dirt not recycled and the seeds all looked alike, unless I just didn't notice one!! That spot did get what I though was a MG seed. i will post another picture as the leaves get larger.

There are seeds that could on the 'macro' level could resemble the seeds of different genera in the MG Family...too many to list,but upon very close examination would have differences...

The hilium is what most often displays the crucial distinguishing features and this can be very 'challenging' to anyone not very familiar with examining this area...

TTY,...

Ron

I would venture to say that your seedling is of the cucurbitaceae family which includes gourds,melons and cucumbers.Very strongly resembles the "bur cucumber" (sycios angulatus) which is an invasive weed.

Thank you Golgi, I quess it was somthing in the dirt.

You guys keep me in stitches. Here is my guess. In two weeks there will be some mg seedlings growing beside it, that may damp off. In the meantime, now that we have all bonded with it and gotten to know it, it is almost like a nephey now. lol You are going to have to grow it out and bloom it now for sure. Frank

LOL Frank, I think I'll do just that!!!

lol.. Frank,
nephey..

Ronnie, let us know what happens there.. it sure is healthy.. we should take bets.. see who guesses this one.

I think it's a cuc..

A.

I hope it is a cuke, I gorge on them in the summer. I tried one called Cool Breeze last summer, and oh was it nice. No peeling, so guess what. They never make it further than one step from the vine, and they are gonners. I really like the ones you don't have to peel. Ummmmmm Frank

I've never grow veggies at all funny that it may one!!!

We live in the pacific flyway and thoroughly enjoy feeding the birds as they migrate through. You wouldn't believe the strange weeds that they leave here before they leave . Last year we even got a Datura. This is the time of the year the Sand Hill cranes show up to cash in on frog breeding season in the many beaver dams in the area. They logged over there last year, and when the cranes showed up they only stayed two days and left, rather than 2 weeks. We haven't heard them yet this year, but if they aren't here by the end of this week, they aren' t coming.

Th cotyledons on your plant don't look like a cucumber or squash, so I am going to guess Hollyhock Nephey. Frank

Frank,
that could be a hollyhock, here is hollyhock creme de cassis.. these were sown this past December, they are quite large now. The other HHs are very similar to this one also.

What is the name of the cucumbers? I've got a couple of space makers and 100 yield going..
A.

Kinda looks like my bird house gourds too.

It could be some kind of vegetable vine like a cucumber,squash,gourd or melon. It also favors wild mustard. It will be hard to tell until it grows bigger.

Frank I thought it looked Hollyhockish too!! Nephey is getting bigger everyday now, I will post another picture in a few days.

I really think he wants to be a MG deep down....

I looked it up and it does look like wild mustard. It has the kidney bean shaped cotyledons and similar leaves....but I could be very wrong. Forgive me if I`m wrong. :)

OH Poo I'm hoping your wrong!!☺

Everybody can laugh at me if I`m wrong...he he :)

I want to be wrong too! Wait and see.

AThank you sister. They can laugh at me too if I am wrong., I will laugh along with them. This is why I love this forum. Most uf us are beyond the age of pride goeth before the fall.

Oops, one technical question. How soon can take my seedling off of heat after they have germinated.?????? Easter Blessings to all! Frank

Well gardener2005 doesn't look like you need to be forgiven!! According to some guesses at the ID forum it is some type of mustard. Looking at some pics I have to go with that.

Sadly I will put little nephey to rest today as he is taking up a spot for a real morning glory!!!

Good-by Nephey )-:

He will grow again in the garden in the sky. Mustard heaven...actually my neighbor`s field has looked like mustard heaven at times. :0)

Lovesg, mustard sprouts are good in salads, maybe nephey might spice it up for you. Frank

Be sure sure to keep looking out for your Gypsy Bride because mine took its time to sprout even after soaking and nicking.
