Sorry to get back to this so late. Yes, some pink leaves, but not on
all the seedlings, and yes, there is a distinct lemon flavor. These
seedlings all had three to four sets of leaves, or fewer.

Well that's a start. Thanks for looking. Mine taste like a weed. Just a
plain, simple, nondescript weed. I wonder what the heck I planted and
why? Thanks again.

Cockscomb has red stalks and the bottom leaves are a bit pinkish.
