Consisting of basal sprouts these could both be rootstock seedlings. The top one might resemble Malus baccata if examined with an eye for pertinent technical details. Some cultivars are selections of pure species and others are hybrids involving more than one kind. Hundreds of cultivars have been introduced in North America.

LOL, if a person starts to look like their plants I definitely want to be something tall and slender! I may not be able to recognize cactus and succulents easily but I can tell you what kind of plants live here. I was a bit surprised to see these growing in one of my new raised beds. Tami

Thanks everyone looked it up on the HL and the flowers look the same and it is bluer early in the season then turns more green so Seymour will now have a tag. Alexis717 I have told people that I would feed them to Seymour but normally just my husband and daughter. HostaLes I still have a vhs machine along with a few beta tapes that were before vhs go figure pack rat that I am. Thanks Bennie, Steve and Eleven I'll keep an eye on the little guy and see what it does. Thanks Debbie

I have had a rope plant for 11 years and another for about 7 years they have done great, till recently. the leaves are weak and dropping, there are no bugs or fungus anywhere. the only thing I can think is that I fertilized about 6 months ago. these are the only two having problems. I have clipped them back so they didn't strain to feed the vines but the vines do not want to root either. Not really sure what to do I don't want to re-pot for stress reasons. can some one please advise? I really do not want to lose the 11 year old plant it belong to a friend that died in 07.
