Mystery Plant

Saturday, January 2nd, 2010

I plant a lot of seeds.  They don’t always germinate, and some may come up much later.  I put most of my seed pots outside when the temperature is above freezing.  I leave a few outside in the winter if I know the plants need winter dormancy.  Seeds carried by the wind and the birds get into my pots also.

I have no idea what the plant pictured below is.  It came up in one of my pots. Its leaves are rather shiny.  The photos are not that great because I did not realize so much light would be reflected by the plant’s leaves.  Maybe I’ll take a few photos outside when we get a thaw, because I don’t think it is a freeze hardy plant.  Meanwhile, does anybody recognize this plant?  It might even be a tree, but it sure doesn’t look like anything growing in the neighborhood.
