It All Starts With the Seeds

Seeds for Planting

How about a little game of seed ID? I've numbered seeds from 1 to 9. Can you identify plants that will grow from these seeds? For fun, jot down your guesses and then scroll to find the answers:

1 Seeds
No. 1

2 Seeds
No. 2

3 Seeds
No. 3

4 Seeds
No. 4

5 Seeds
No. 5

6 Seeds
No. 6

7 Seeds
No. 7

8 Seed
No. 8

9 Seeds
No. 9

Now, check the accuracy of your guesses:

cosmos
No. 1: Cosmos bipinnatus

dahlia pinnata
No. 2: Dahlia hybrids

tithonia
No. 3: Tithonia rotundifolia

blue vervain
No. 4: Verbena hastata

swamp milkweed
No. 5: Asclepias incarnata

zinnia
No. 6: Zinnia elegans

lettuce
No. 7: Lactuca sativa

hyacinth bean
No. 8: Lalab purpureus

hollyhock
No. 9: Alcea rosea

How'd you do?

I admit: I had to be very careful to keep these seeds and photos organized. I'll be planting all of them, and others, this spring. What seeds will you start in the weeks ahead?
