Name That Plant!

Seedling Image Id help please

13 years ago

Hi, I planted seeds hoping they are Hen's & Chicks Poppies.

Can anyone tell from looking at the seedling image if this is the right poppy or not?

If you go to the link listed below please scroll down a bit until you come to Hen's & Chicks Poppy to see the image of the seedling.

Also if anyone has pictures of some of the Poppy Flowers that I am missing I would love to use them on my website until my Poppies bloom.

Thank You

Sherrie

Unfortunately, that link didn't work. I assume this is your site?

I'm afraid I can't help with the seedling ID question.

Wood Poppy is aka Celandine Poppy.

The native California poppy is almost always orange, although some other colors have been developed (I just planted a red cultivar, Thai Silk Fire Bush). The Latin name should be ESchscholTZIa californica.

Hm. Depending which font the site is shown in, my capitalization could be confusing, as the lower case L and upper case I look the same. "Eschscholtzia" should end with oh-ell-tee-zee-eye-ay.

I have not noticed the leaf shape changing other than difference from cotyledon leaves to first true leaves. Whether it be a swazicum, somalense or Arabicum, etc. I have one plant purchased as Somalense and was told that once I see it bloom, then I would have a better idea as the leaves are not typical Somalense shape.

The leaves are elongated like many of the taller cannas out there. They are shaped almost exactly like my canna musafolia which gets very tall. Here is a link that may be helpful. http://www.karcheskycanna.com/ There is a picture on this site of a canna that looks very much like yours. It is called c. indica 'Costa Rica'. You will get a better idea of what it is once the plants are established and reach full hieght.

Your hens & chicks seedling pic looks like P. rhoeas (Shirley poppy) vs. p. somniferum. I believe Papaver commutatum image is incorrect also.

Hi missingtheobvious and jaynine, Sorry for the wrong link. Is there a way I can change it? I fixed the spelling on the "Eschscholtzia". I have also changed the California Poppy image and added Celandine Poppy to the Wood Poppy. I will do some more investigating on the Hen's & Chicks and Papaver commutatum seedling images. I am having trouble finding images of the 2 seedlings in question.
Thanks so much for all you help. This forum is wonderful and I really appreciate everyone who is willing to help with my flower questions. The red cultivar, Thai Silk Fire Bush Sounds nice, I will look it up.
Thank You, Sherrie
