Seedling lost their labels. What ARE these? 🤔

[Anniekay]

I ran out of labels so I just labelled a row of seedlings, but, then, later, I had to redistribute things so my growlights could stay even. Tall stuff in a row, etc.
Now I have just one of each of the following and have no idea what they are !!

This has very soft white tiny fuzz on the bottom of the leaves.


This, when I pinched out the top, has a white sap inside. The label says Honesty but we all know it ain't !! Any ideas ?
@Tetters ?

The top one looks like some sort of nicotiana, tobacco plant. Try downloading an identification app, like plant net, on to your phone, they are pretty good but it can't cope with the computer picture of the second one. Or you could wait and see if you like surprises

I took both pictures with my IPhone. I have an issue with downloading apps to my phone. Google doesn't like me nor I them !! We

I'm glad one Nicotiana seed germinated !! Thanks @olly-buckle. I think the other is some sort of weed. I have been experiencing quite a number of weed seed in my seed packets the past few years. I won't blame the companies because, I 'spose they really can't help to have a few weed seed mixed in here or there.

Careful of that sap, when I think white sap I think 'spurges' and 'irritant', It doesn't look like a spurge, or any weed I know; maybe bindweed? The leaf is the right sort of shape, but too robust and dark coloured. Somehow it doesn't look like a weed, I wouldn't dispose of it just yet.
It might be a bit unfair blaming the seed companies, they are pretty careful. Weed seeds are experts at moving about and surviving, they can stick to gloves and tools, they can even fly, or be propelled by explosion, or they might have come in the compost. Seeds vary enough in appearance that I would expect to notice a deviant in the packet, it's amazing how good the human eye is at such things.

I wonder if you have been looking for medicinal plants again? I'm thinking about the toothache plant you were growing for example? To add to Olly's thoughts, I'm thinking the second plant could possibly be something like the vines I have been looking at, but certainly can't be sure what it is. I'll add a link -

The first one definitely looks like Nicotiana.

Thanks for searching for me @Tetters. I don't believe that's quite the same as this one.


The leaves start out oval but elongate as they grow. I might put it in a pot if I can't find out what it is, then, if it turns out to be a nasty plant, I'll have all the roots in one place.

Right, then I reckon that's Asclepia (milk weed) the one that attracts those Monarch butterflies. Does it have furry leaves? - they look a bit furry in that picture.

Very fine, soft fur, hardly noticeable visually but when you touch them, the undersides are soft as a newborn baby's bottom !!
I'd be well pleased if it turns out to be Milkweed !!

I think if it's a vine it would grow faster.

I think you're right. Not a vine. I still have it in a starter pot, and it has grown but I nipped out the leader to make it branch, which it has done, so that slowed it's growth somewhat. I think Tetters is right, it seems to be a Milkweed. I have no idea which kind, just have to wait and see when it flowers

Been looking at milkweed on line, can't see any with a leaf quite like that, they mostly appear to be long and narrow and rounded at the base, but there are a lot of them, I think someone said eleven growing wild in Ohio. The milky sap they are named for is toxic, and can cause nasty irritation just handling it, someone advised gloves, it is nasty enough that they are banned in some states because of the damage they can do to livestock. Most will avoid them, but problems occur when they mix with grass that is dried for hay.
