    Hi All,

    I acquired some seeds earlier this year labelled as 'Aloe - Mixed'.

    They were planted 6/6/15 and the attached is how they currently look.

    I'm very much a novice, but these seedlings don't look anything like what google says aloe seedlings should look like!

    I'd appreciate the opinion of someone who knows more about it. If they aren't a type of aloe, I guess I just need to wait and see what they turn into?

    Looks to me a bit like Kalanchoe

      Oh dear, thank you. That looks more like them!

      I'm now wary of the others given to me from the same place though! Can you confirm that this is
      Hibiscus syriacus - Rose-of-Sharon - Althea ?

      Thank you!

      Ungh :doh:

      Thank you. I think I might just not bother planting the 10 other seed types he gave me in the coming spring.
