At first I thought this was the witch hazel seeds I planted sprouting but now I see it's something else. But I don't know what.

Anyone recognize this?

Oh, here you go Christine, here is one of your photos from 2012. Maybe that's grandma. You can start a family photo album for them!

(Is it just me or does this seem to be the most asked-about genus on the Plant ID forum?)
