What do bluebell seedlings look like?

Last autumn I sowed some british bluebell seeds and now something has come up and I don't know if they are bluebells. The seedlings I see have grass-like leaves erupting fountain-like from a central stem. I book I have says the seedlings look like chives - which I understand to mean have individual round stems. Can anyone help? ISTR the very first seed leaf is round like chives, but the true leaves quickly follow and it soon looks like a scale model of the adult. Quite a lot of monocots look like this as a seedling so it isn't distinctive. A picture would resolve any ambiguities. If the leaves all come from the ground then I'd say it was probably a bluebell. If they are in rosettes around a central stem then I have not idea what it is. Regards, Martin Brown ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com ** |
