strange cauliflower seedling
« on: May 01, 2009, 16:26 »
 ??? Amidst my all normal looking cauliflower seedlings (All Year Round) one with a pale stem and yellow leaves has popped up. Is it an anemic or sickly seedling, or might it be a rogue seed from another veg variety got in there? Can anyone shed any light on it, or should I just let it grow and wait and see?

I'm very new, so although I can easily take a photo, I'm not sure how to post it on site - and anyone help me on this one please?

Completely off-topic, I'm afraid, but are you from Staffordshire by any chance, vortex444?

I've got relatives there and they're the only people I've heard using the word 'strug'.  I was given a pot of jam last year labelled 'strug plum', from a tree that had found its own way into the garden.

A completely yellow seedling is most likely than anything else being sickly, I'd just lose it, whatever it is. Otherwise, if it is a cauli, will look exactly as the rest but the colour. :blink:

It's not unuaual to get an "albino" this is due to the lack or complete abscence of chlorophyll in the plant.

As it has little or no food factory, it won't be viable.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

 :happy:Thanks for all replies. Yes it does look like the rest of the caulis, so suspect it is an "albino". Thanks also for the photo posting link too! I'll not bother posting this time, as I think we've worked out what it is - and as I say, its just like the rest of the cauli seedlings in all but colour. Still, it had a bit of a shot at life
