name these seedlings
By Mookins
Norfolk, United Kingdom
I posted a question the other day but was only able to add pics recently, not sure how far peeps go back to look at questions so shall ask again as Im dying to know what they are.
I thought these were going to be Lobelia Rainbow cascade, they are the only two surviving seeds from a packet I planted a while ago. Now these two darlings are about 20cms high and the other about 30cms high. they have now started to make little tiny buds at the top. Presuming that cascade still means going over or something similar is this them... I had a couple of replys but no other names mentioned,
polite answers are much appreciated thanks peeps

Is it not a Campanula Checkle Chaukle which I cannot find in the books or on the internet but I had one given me as a present from a friend who runs a rare plants garden centre, she and the gardening expert from the collage came on a private visit to my garden and brought a few rare plants as a present, it is about 18"/2ft tall finely cut leaves cant find them at the moment to compare, and a white bell flower with lilac edges, very delicate and very pretty, wait until it flowers see what comes of it.
