    Hi,

    i recently received - through seed exchange - a letter with seeds inside. But the name of the sender on the envelope differs from anyone I know from any forum, and the seeds are not labelled.

    Who could give suggestions, what seeds these are, based on the photo? I got the seeds from Texas, but the origin of the plant is unknown to me, at the moment.

    Each seed measures 4 to 5 mm.

    Sheal, I thought that too - but only cos they are one of the few seeds I can identify, along with marigolds & nasts:o
    Sure that Sven would know that though, so will keep my eye on this to see what others think.

    cheers

    They almost look Canna like, but they don't have the white bit on them, some Acacia seeds look very similar to those with the white marks on......

    I'll keep thinking :D
