I planted some swap seeds & got this seedling. It was supposed to be Scarlet Pimpernel. I'm thinking it's not. Any idea what it might be? The leaves are very fuzzy. |

| Silene? |

| I did plant seeds of Silene asterias but the seedlings don't look like this. They aren't fuzzy at all. Do you think I mixed the two up? |

| Maybe. Do you have a picture of the other seedlings? |

| There is a veriegated Rose Campion (Silene coronaria). Your seedling looks veriegated too. I agree with Janine that is may be Silene. Hamilton Square Garden, Historic City Cemetery, Sacramento California. |

| Well poop! I really wanted the Scarlet pimpernel! Any idea what color the Silene would be? My color scheme for the front yard is red, hot pink & orange. I'll have to plant it in the backyard if it is anything else. I'll try & run outside to take pics of the S. asterias. I'm pretty sure it's right though since it was the last swap & the person who collected it was positive about the ID. |

| You should show this photo to the swapper or @ there name here to ask them if they recognize it. If you have any seeds left for Scarlet Pimpernel they are distinctive. Here's a link to a close-up photo. https://www.invasive.org/brows... Hamilton Square Garden, Historic City Cemetery, Sacramento California. |

| Okay, then the seeds I have are definitely NOT Scarlet pimpernel! The seeds look nothing like that picture. Oh well, I like Silene too. Here's a picture of the S. asterias seedlings.  The leaves aren't fuzzy at all. |

| I just checked and I got the seeds from a swap on another site. It was my first ever swap and I never recorded who I got the seeds from. I'll just have to remember to change the seed packet. I have another seedling from the same pack but it isn't variegated. |

The variegated one may be very nice to have! Lucky you. The S. asterias seedlings look correct too. Keep us posted when they flower.  Hamilton Square Garden, Historic City Cemetery, Sacramento California. |
