    Hi millymilly and welcome to GC!

    You've obviously planted these seedlings and they do look familiar but like Tiarella I am stumped.

    Did you not have a pack which perhaps you lost or were the seeds given to you? Is there any history, ie, a friend grows them and they look like ??????

    I thought that as well, pete, but my morning glory have fatter leaves.

    Thinking of climbers ... remember those free seeds we got from miraflores? Well, mine have now come out of sleepy mode and look like nothing I recognise ... must take a pic and post ... strange ...

    ....thanks to everyone for your responses.

    I've checked around the sources -my hubby is the one who rears from seed (we're just beginners) and he rarely keeps the packets - [​IMG] yes, I know LOL) and he says he did have some Morning Glory, but dismissed these particular seedlings (?)as being so because their leaves resemble nothing like those we had last year, with the rounder leaves with little points on them. In fact, I saved the seeds and those are coming up nicely, but, of course, with leaves nothing like those that you have kindly identified.

    Do you know what sort of Morning Glory they are, please? Thanks a million.....

    ...further to my last, I do my poor hubby an injustice. :confused: The aforementioned seeds came, he thinks, from a mixed packet from our local "�£" shop, and which, some of you may recall when you kindly responded to my please-identify query last year, yielded a fine crop of basil instead of mixed flower seeds. :D

    So this year, from your help, we have flowers at least in the form of Morning Glory....thanks, again....
