Streaked Seedlings

Post by wzbt03 »

The biggest one looks like it will be a nice streaked hosta in a couple of months.
I planted these in late October.

I was wondering when someone was going to start this thread! I've got some started, maybe 20 or so streaked so far, lots of nice yellows too. No pics yet, they are still only 1 leaf. Watch out for them drying out! I almost lost the whole lot, but looks like they are bouncing back, whew! If I get to the 2 leaf stage, I will start posting pics, LOL. Looks like a good year so far.

The biggest seedling is growing nicely thanks for sharing them.Looks like a fast growing plant what is the parentage ?? They don't like drying out young I try to grow with lidded containers to hold moisture then you get damp off it is a touchy game when they are young.Thanks for sharing will post some pictures when I have spoutage and some leafs looking real hard but nothing yet day 6 after planting so it should be soon hopefully !!

Happy Seed Sowing !!

Only one-leafers in my greenbasement so far, but they are looking healthy, and a few even look interesting! Pics later on, when they look like something besides variegated grass! Phyllis

I'm miles away from starting seedlings. I see my cup's o seed down on the work bench... they barely catch my eye. It is going to be an interesting year for seedlings... will prob start them sometime after xmas, maybe even ground hogs day.

I have a few L. Elfin Fire seedlings being neglected in the back room. No pics. The rest have to wait this year, as my DD21 is getting married in January, then I will need to be institutionalized to rest till after spring break! :lol: Ask me when my house is free of candles and tule and fuss!!

This is what I have so far. They aren't very good pictures as I took them at night with artifical lighting. The streaked and larger green ones (I have not idea why I haven't thrown the plain green ones out) are a streaked mix purchased on eBay. I'll try to get a better picture of the streaked one another time. It's light green and yellow. The smaller seedlings are Akane.

New seedlings of interest

Post by wzbt03 »

The first picture is a streaked Ventricosa from seeds on Ebay. I got 35 seeds, 20 germinated and 2 were streaked.

The second picture is of a lone streaked Komodo Dragon that was a surprise. I know that Chinese Dragon Supreme is a streaked sport of Komodo but have not seen seedlings of this type - is it common?

Still trying to master adding these pictures. Not very good at it I am afraid.
