Lottery Mix

Chiltern seed Lottery Mix greenhouse/conservatory and succulent/cactus.

I think I may have done better posting this in tha "games" section!









these were all started at the same time.

 

The ones in the first pic look interesting, nice colour. Looks like the ones in the third pic could be sedums but not sure, the second one may be something like an ipomoea. As for the rest....?
Very exciting :D

 

I guess the first is dark leaved basil, the second is somekind of morning glory (Ipomoea).
I recognise a coleus in the third pic top left, bottom right in pic four looks a bit like the curcubit family perhaps.

 

Yes I thought the big twiney one was a kind of ipomea, there is another about 10 times smaller that looks like an ipomea too.

I am clueless about the purple ones, only dark lobelia I grow is cardinalis queen victoria, I don't think its basil, though I could be wrong, it has a wavy leaf not rounded like usual basil.

Yes I do think one is coleus and I hate the damned stuff - oh except for some of the very black velvety ones.

My succulent . cactii mix are growing hairs, they now look like hairy fat pink babies!

Just got new camera so in 10 years time when I have learnt to use it I can post more detailed pics!

 

The reason I say basil is I had some from them in a lottery mix a couple of years ago, try a gentle rub of the leaves and see if it has a scent.

 

Waco I've just thought, if your cacti mix is pink and hairy :D Then its getting too much sun, the seedling should be green, I think they need some shade.

 

You are right Pete, its basil, I am so disgusted that its in greenhouse mix that I have eaten it all so if you were wrong and its some deadly plant then you will nnot be hearing from me again!

As to cacti I will try to take some pictures with my new camera but have moved into shadier spot - thanks

 

next lot!
no.1

no 2

no.3

no 4

no 5 (fat pink babies)

no 6


Oh and love the new camera, just need time to read the instructions on how to use it!

 

No 1, not a clue at the moment, although looks familiar.
No 2,Its a legume of some kind. :D Big help.
No 3,I think I have an idea about this, had it in last years lottery mix, it just grew a rosette of leaves but is coming into flower now, not open yet but I'll try to post a pic.
No 4 succulent of some kind.
No 5, cacti seedlings, dont be tempted to prick them out, leave them for at least a year, and try to keep them green, they will grow faster.
No 6,Dont know but it looks interesting.

 

This is what I think No3 turns out like, but I could easily be wrong.
maybe someone can ID it.

 

no 2 I am racking my brains for, it opens and closes with light - very reactive.

so what is your picture of then - or have you still to find out?

 

Dont know yet, waiting for the flowers to open.

 

so they are grown on a bit now, and I have a few ideas, but need some help please.....

1. some kind of Ipomea? but it flowers all day



2. no idea but its horrid! I am hoping that it has a spectacular fruit as there is nothing else notable about it!



3. could this be strenbergia?



4. I feel I should know this, but I don't! its almost succulent in leaf bit like mesembrianthamum



5. ? Cyperus papyrus?



6. ? anigazanthos?



7. ?eucaliptus



8. no idea



best one to follow.........

 

9. this one I love, it has two quite seperate sets of leaves appart from the first pair it developed, so I am now on 3rd set - LOVE IT!



Oh I know how you all love this game - can't for the life of me think why I bought the seeds in the first place, I could be running on a load of old rubbush!

Oh and I did survive eating the basil Pete - just incase you were worried that I had not posted for some time!
