Unknown Plant (again)
Can anyone identify this plant? It came up in a germination cell that
should have been onions. http://tinypic.com/1r509n5u Unknown Plant folder First pic upper left. I'm thinking epazote, but I've never grown it before. -- "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Arn3lF5XSUg http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Zinn/HZinn_page.html |

I'm thinking epazote, but I've never grown it before. Some type of pigweed (Amaranthus sp.) and a slightly anemic looking specimen, at that. Pigwweeds can be hard to ID down to species without having the mature inflorescence to look at. http://www.oisat.org/pests/weeds/bro.../pigweeds.html http://ipm.illinois.edu/bulletin/pas...s/200122g.html -- Pat in Plymouth MI "Vegetables are like bombs packed tight with all kinds of important nutrients..." --Largo Potter, Valkyria Chronicles email valid but not regularly monitored |

Some type of pigweed (Amaranthus sp.) and a slightly anemic looking specimen, at that. Aw, give it a break, it's only 4 weeks old and growing like . . . a weed. Pigwweeds can be hard to ID down to species without having the mature inflorescence to look at. http://www.oisat.org/pests/weeds/bro.../pigweeds.html http://ipm.illinois.edu/bulletin/pas...s/200122g.html After reading the 2 above cites, I'm tempted to take a flame thrower to the little guy. When I was loading a tray of germination cells, I found this small (2"X2"), plastic, zip-lock baggie which had no identification. I went back through my seed packets and couldn't find one without seeds to connect the baggie to, so I planted a few seeds and marked the cell with a question mark. This year, besides gardening, I guess I'll be a plant detective as well. Did the plant come from an old baggie of seeds, or did the cell become contaminated somehow, and which member of the Amaranthaceae gang is it? "Utricle--a membranous bladderlike sac enclosing an ovary or fruit (seed). The utricle is contained with the tepals, and the seed is enclosed by the utricle. How the utricle fractures (breaks apart) has been the basis for differentiating between common and tall waterhemp." ZZZZZZ Uh, yeah, sure, right, and I need to keep it away from my beds until I figure out what the little rascale is. Thanks for the cites, Pat, very interesting, if laborious, reading that you and Una have given me.
