Hi Girls, I've had a seed mix up of some sort and do not know what this plant is, any help? I thought I had planted moonflower in that pot but it's not matching up.







and then this one volunteered itself in a spider plant I was given


Any help would be appreciated-thanks!

Yep. I'd put my money on okra, too. Was it a tiny round almost black seed? The bottom one almost looks like some kind of hosta but not the little flower.

I go along with Okra and the flower of the other plant looks like a type of Violet. MB

Okra is the one on top. The other, no idea.

The bottom one is a hosta...I saw some at our local nursery this year just like it. And Okra for the top one for sure. How fun..I love surprizes!

Oh! Thank you girls...okra for sure. I totally forgot about trying it this year. I tried it last year for the first time in the ground, they didn't go so well. Seems I have better luck putting my veggies in containers...and I got some popcicle sticks to end the confusion. We'll see what the second one grows into, seems like hosta could be it, I've been wanting some so that's nice. Now if I could just find those moonflowers...
