I sowed some tigridia seeds last year (I do this every year btw) and to my surprise not only they appeared but so did this in the same pot   I do have various ornamental grasses growing in the garden, but none are this colour and form, any ideas?? x Tig |

I planted an ornamental grass think 2 years ago - really pretty with swaying stems - this year I notice it has had many babies and they are everywhere - having to weed like mad - may dig it up  |

That grass and similar ones do self seed, but I have potted many on and given them to friends and neighbours. I think they are smashing wee grasses.

I've got a few grasses in pots and they are very touchable ;D will have to go label hunting because I can't remember what they are. I reckon I've got some young Tigridia seedlings that I aquired from somewhere, I'll take a piccy and let you see if thats what they are, they look similar to the ones in your pot Tig  I bought this yesterday because I just loved the colour  |

I bought one of those earlier in the year Chuckles, and a Carex Oshimensis Evergold as a contrast to it The other seedlings with the grass are definitely Tigridia, they were all sown in the one pot, the grass must have fancied bedding down with them Like you SO I enjoy stroking the 'fluffy' ones  |
