Plant I'd please

[Mammaaof]

Help! I planted seeds at start of lock down and can't remember what I planted! Anyone any guesses on this? I think I mixed 2 different seeds in this one pot! Thank you

wait until it flowers? If it is something edible, chew a bit of a leaf, unless it's something with poisonous leaves like rhubarb.

I have no idea what plants you'd please. Mine are all looking a bit p*ed off with me right now.

Honestly I've been waiting for months for these seeds to flower and getting bored of waiting just wanted to Google to see what it will look when/if it ever flowers

I recognise the cosmos, not sure about the one you're holding - sorry!

@HildaWasALondoner oh fab so the ones I've mixed in are cosmos?

Poppy?

The spiky one that looks like carrot leaves is a cosmos! Neither me nor DH can quite work out the other one I'm afraid...

Maybe this is a better photo for you to see the leaves

Ooh good shout on poppy...isn't it a bit late for them?

www maybe a poppy I do remember planting them! They were a couple of packets of seeds with 6 different variety in them and tbh when I planted them I didn't actually expect them to grow hence why I didn't label them

Googling poppy leaves does suggest that poppy is a strong contender. As for flowering, I stand corrected...peak flowering season is now!

Ahhh, I do love a plant ID. You have very lovely hands BTW OP.

It looks like a marigold and dill (or asparagus fern?).

Ah dammit Vanguard, now you've opened up the field

@HildaWasALondoner I think it is a poppy you know! I'm praying it flowers very soon as I'm so impatient I go out and check every morning! Haha thank you never had a comment about my hands before

@TheVanguardSix none of them ring any bells so don't think I planted any of them

You have very lovely hands BTW OP.

I was thinking the exact same. I even held up my old, leathery hand to compare (which bummed me out).

I'm obviously wrong about the dill, by the way, and probably the marigold as well. It's probably PTSD because the snails lacerated my marigolds this summer so I can't get marigolds out of my mind.

Poppy was my first thought too.

Yep scabby dry hands over here too. Begone with your poppy and beautiful hands Mamma!

😂😂😂 well I know there are websites where people pay for photos of feet but maybe there's one also for hands that I can join 🧐😂😂

You've found a new sideline... 🤣

Yes, it's a poppy. Not a marigold - the calyx (the green bit round the flower) is wrong for a marigold. That two-part calyx is typical of poppy. The "Cosmos" at the back could also be love-in-a-mist. I find them hard to distinguish at that age.

@MereDintofPandiculation I've just googled love in a mist and I think they could be them!

My love in a mist have all gone over to seed now so I would bet cosmos too.

I too think the fine leaves could be nigella (love in a mist). Mine are nowhere near flowering, having been grown in the only compost I could get at the start of lockdown, which gardening Twitter later told me is notoriously rubbish. Harrumph.

@ComeBackIntoTheGardenMaud to be honest I didn't think any of my seeds would grow as I used compost that I reused from last year as at the start of lockdown I couldn't get any! Now I regret not labeling x

*My love in a mist have all gone over to seed now so I would bet cosmos too.My Cosmos are still in flower (and a late sowing is still in flower). Equally, flowering time of Nigella depends on when they were sown. I have some which are not yet in flower.

Flowering time is only really reliable for perennials, where the plant has complete autonomy over the flowering. Annuals are too dependent on when exactly they were sown - that's why so many are sown in succession for a longer display.
