    The brown ones look like bulb seed, fritillaries?

    and the dark one looks very familiar

    No, neither of those, they are seeds from my garden, not sent to me.

    Might have to sow them and see what comes up Lynimage

    Exactly what I will do Nut... I love the pot luck challenge. As soon as they show leaves we will be able to tell.

  • Could the large ones be from a peony of some type? 10mm seeds are few and far between in most gardens.

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
  • The dark ones look like my yellow flag iris seeds.

    The big seeds are acanthus mollis or spinosa.

    Could the other seeds be iris?

    I haven't got any Acanthus, or spinosa,  but maybe I did collect some from an iris in the pond. They will be easy to identify once germinated.

    not peony Bob. Got some but didn't save seeds.

    I might have sent you some.

  • LynLyn Posts: 23,190

    I did ask for some Acanthus but didnt think anyone responded. I am sure if you sent them you would have written on the envelope, so still not sure. That is the full amount of them, just six. Maybe you can remember better than me imageimage
