ID, any ideas?

[Mr List]

this seedling was in the pot with my aralia elata from crug.
it was hard to get out but since it was from crug i thought is was worth trying to grow it to see what it is.

i thought i might have damaged the roots a bit too much but it is starting to grow now so it is ok.

i thinking it might be a hellebore though rather than anything exciting.

any ideas yet?

Could be a form of Ivy or Bergenia seedling???

[Conifers]

Looks like an ivy seedling to me too. A bit too young to be certain, though.

[Mr List]

will see how it developes and keep you updated, see if anybody was right.

Oooh I got no idea what it is but hope you've got something exciting. A bonus to get a hijacker from Crug, especially when it's something you haven't got, or expensive

They are just the cotyledons (two seed leaves) and normally look nothing like the eventual leaf shape. It will need more leaves for most people to even hazard a guess

But the colour looks to be reddish, which could indicate a 'Rubra' of some type

[flounder]

Looking at the veins on the cotyledons, I'd say Ivy. The red blush seems to be a trait with them

[GREVILLE]

I get seedlings that look exactly like that which produce ivy leaves after the cotyledons and since they appear under my Hedera canariensis I assume your seedling is just that. (Kick myself if I'm wrong )

[flounder]

Greville, if you've got seedlings of h. canariensis, you'd make a killing on ebay. That is the one with the big leaves, right?

[GREVILLE]

I grow the variegated version and it's the only ivy in the vicinity. I assume the seeds produce the all green version.

[flounder]

You'll have to grow them on, just in case they're bog standard ones from bird droppings
