I am embarrassed to say this but I don't know which of my seeds germinated I put in zinnia, marigolds and sunflower seeds. I recognise marigold and sunflowers, so could this be zinnia?
I thought zinnias had broader leaves but they could be a type I'm not familir with. Maybe Droopy will be able to help you ID your little plant Tina.
If those green bits were a little thinner, I'd say it looks like a pine tree sapling...but then the dark stem would be a bit toughish. Show another pic when it has developed a bit further.
I'm with Sjoerd on this one. Looks like a small pine tree to me. Then again I've never sown zinnia so I don't know what they'd look like. Edit, found a link to a Ponderosa pine seedling.
Oh Noooooooooo!!! I have pine seedlings all over my flower beds then I will let them grow a bit more or wait for Glenda to confirm before pulling them out. Thanks again everyone.
definitely not a zinnia. here --> http://images.google.com/images?um=1&hl ... rch+Images heres pine seedlings --> http://images.google.com/images?um=1&hl ... rch+Images
Thanks Wrennie. I definitely have douglas fir seedlings in my flower bed :'( I have to uproot them now.
Tina, I was going to tell you my suspicion, then I noticed where you live- now I'm, like, 99 percent sure, it's a doug fir seedling (Pseudosuga menzesii). I used to go batty pulling them out of my garden before I knew what they were: just leave them and next fall dig them up & pop them into little pots. Places that hold plant sales for fundraisers always appreciate being donated little tree seedlings (my big fat 2 cents)
Thanks Mary. Thats a nice thought. The problem is these seedlings are in my flower beds. So, I have to remove them to put in annual flowers.
