Anybody want to take a shot?

Post by Buckethead »

This is part of a general assortment. I've played around with seeds a few times, but have never seen one like this with three leaves. There are others with two leaves. When it first came up I thought it was a weed or some kind of succulent. But it's obviously a cactus. Anybody want to take a guess of at least which genus it is? I'm really curious.

Yep, "some kind of Opuntiad" is about all you can say at this early stage. As for the 3rd seed leaf - just a freak thing that happens occasionally. I've seen it on other types of plants, and they grew up to be quite normal. Check out this page.
