Plant identification please.
I have just received a lucky dip of 3 sets of plants from Sutton seeds but no paper work so have no idea what they are LOL
Pics posted below.
Thank you in advance :)

No. 3 might be Zinnia, not sure they're mesembryanthemum (Livingstone Daisy). I think the only thing you can do is prick them out and see what they are - they'll be more recognisable (hopefully) as they grow on. Possible that No. 2 is Cerastium tomentosum - did they say it was a lucky dip of annual seedlings, or perennial?

definitely not livingstone daisies but i got my delivery today and they were begonias which was written on label on box beside my address so have a look at box just in case

Thank you guys.
Helen I received one lot of begonias they were the only ones I recognized lol
Bamboo not sure but almost certain they are all annuals.
Guess it's a case of wait and see :)

No 3 could be Gazania too, mine looks similar......
12 May, 2011
just potted mine on and to be truthful I am not convinced that they are begonias lol

I'm pretty sure that #3 is Gazania, but the others are a mystery to me.

I grew Gazanias last year and all the long leaves had notches near the end - these don't.

My Gazania "Bicton orange" doesn't have any notches Beattie, but it was just a thought anyway.....

Ok, I hadn't grown them before (not enough sun til we moved). Maybe it was just my variety.

well my mystery plant puzzle has been solved !! for all the box said begonias there was one with a flower on it and today it opened and lo and behold it is a petunia :o))
which is fine as i love Petunias [i,ve put a photo on my page ]

Hard to tell what they are.
No 3 MIGHT be mesembryanthemum ?
