    I received these in the post last week from Suttons. The offer was a bedding plant lucky dip but there was no note enclosed to say which plants were sent. I have potted them on into 7cm pots now. They arrived in 9 x 21 cell plug trays (189 plants in total), with each cell measuring 3cm x 2.5cm.
    I know that one tray is bedding geraniums (zonal pelargonium) and another tray is begonia semperflorens, but I'm not sure what the others are.
    Can anyone help please ? :ThankYou:

    All of the plants together.

        Thank you both.:dbgrtmb:
        I did wonder if tray 7 was Gazania but wasn't sure.
        The Impatiens could maybe be the New Guinea ones ?
        I did work in a commercial plant nursery a number of years ago. Spent many months gapping up hundreds and hundreds of trays manually and picking orders for despatch, so I "should" know what these all are...but it's been a while.
        I don't really like semperflorens begonias but I'm sure I'll find somewhere to plant them. Most of them are starting to flower and are all a lovely shade of pink. I prefer the non-stop begonias.

        I'd go with Aster ( China Aster, Callistephus ) for tray 6.
