  • Question

    Grandma got some "winter flower" seeds and is growing these plants. She says they are from the same plant but I don't recognize them. I'd really appreciate it if anyone here can identify the 2 plants on this picture I took from her indoor plants. AC

    Answer

    Dear Moncro, good morning. I can't identify both plants in your image, but the one on the left looks like Stellaria media (common stitchwort), a frequent weed and contaminate in seed packages. It likely got mixed in with the species that was labeled on the package. Best wishes.
