anyone know what these are? seedlings
Comments (9)The second one I would guess is either iris or blackberry lily/ leopard lily (two common names for the same thing). The blackberry lilies look a lot like iris when they sprout. I have a garden full of iris and thought I had lots of babies, but they were all blackberry lily. Which are pretty as well, but they do reseed readily....See MoreTrivia Anyone know what thse are Need help identifying seedlings
Comments (0)Hi I found these all along Bonita Beach in Southwest Florida (Ft Myers/Naples area) which is along the gulf coast near the bottom tip of Florida, its mid to late September. They were everywhere and they all have small sprouts. Well I brought a couple home and planted them, I'm not sure what they are and was wondering if anyone can identify them / knows what they are! Thanks for all your help...See MoreAnyone know what ground cherry seedlings look like?
Comments (3)I had a similar quandry recently, I was sprouting Golden Berry aka Cape Gooseberry (I guess, I don't know, it's new to me) which I've read are related to ground cherry, maybe even the same thing, can't remember. Even though I used what I thought was a sterile medium, I had two different things sprout. I let them both grow until I could for sure identify the one as the weed, and assumed the other was the Cape Gooseberry. It doesn't look anything like a tomato, and if I remember correctly from my youth, ground cherry leaves don't look like tomato leaves either, but I'm not sure. Not sure if that's helpful at all.

Comments (1)Those are baby caterpillars. Flick them off immediately or they'll decimate your entire plant. They eat and eat and eat all day long.. and then just get bigger and bigger. You can tell they are caterpillars because directly under them will be all the little black poop droppings....See More

8 years agolast modified: 8 years agoHi natureinspired thanks for your comments. carolb has suggested that it is a carrotwood. After I was told that information I googled pictures of that plant and noticed that the seeds of that plant look very much like seeds I had found around my backyard and front garden. I had picked up several of those seeds and placed them in various pots to germinate in order to maybe find out what they are. The leaves on my plant have some serrations, but I'm not sure that the carrotwood has them, however I was thinking it may be a plant species in the Cupaniopsis genus or its family if it is not that exact plant?
My pictures include the original plant and 2 more seedlings that seem to be the same plant...
If anyone has anything to say about these, I'd appreciate it.

I just found a website Seedling Carrotwood that shows a carrotwood seedling. The leaves
look similar I think.
