Maybe sedge, and I'm not exactly sure which one. Have to look this one up.
Thimbleberry, Rubus parviflorum :
Thimbleberry, Rubus parviflorum redux - because I like this picture:
I hope this post has been informative. These are the seedlings I'm propagating in the greenhouse now, all local natives. This is my first time, well my second time I guess, through this process, and I am certainly open to advice!
In my next post - fledgling plants take wing!

The "maybe sedge" one looks like golfields to me. My Lasthenia californica seedlings look exactly like that.
You germinated a lot so far! Those are not all super easy either. Way to go!!! I live up in Oregon, but I love ALL of our West Coast natives.
Dear Country Mouse, Oh, how those sweet seedlings make me think of spring in this frigid northeast location! They all look very healthy! Keep us posted. Pamela x
aloha,
how wonderful that you are growing these from seedlings...good for you and thanks for sharing
(Just saying, if you click Add Caption, it is IN the frame, no more confusion ;>)
Good thing you labeled them, a lot of them look very similar. It's also a good idea to have a reference in case you (or we) come across any unidentified seedlings.
That's why they call it a nursery. Ya huh?
Amazing to see seedlings in the exciting stages of development with you whilst we've had quite a bit of snow and v. cold weather here in Northern Brittany which is continuing... thanks for visiting my blog recently - really glad to have found yours and having the chance to repay your kind visit... have a good week Miranda
Brad alluded to it already: I'd love to see a resource, maybe a collaborative wiki, where people could post photos of their little seedlings, from the first seed leaves to the early true leaves. It usually takes me a season or two to identify new good seedlings in the garden from the undesirable riffraff. May your new charges grow and prosper.
Love seeing the babies - so different. Mother Nature sure believes in variety and it reminds me that we need to be more tolerant of the range of humans, just as we need to keep the diversity of plant life.
What a great resource! I love how the Heucheras look so much like the grown-up ones, only shrunken down. To Brad + James: I looked into this last season and was welcomed by someone at Calphotos to add the seedling photos to their files.
