These seedlings come from seed shared with me by a plant blogger after I moved back to the US and had my garden confiscated from me by the USDA. They're Justicia scheidweileri (right two pots) and mixed Abutilon (left five pots). It took me quite some time to get around to sowing them, and even more time to pot them up individually. I have never grown either plant--but look how pretty J. scheidweileri can get with its awesome silver veins and pretty red flowers! And Abutilon are the houseplant member of the mallow family--they look like Hibiscus and hollyhocks to me, and large, robust flowers like that are always a favourite! A bonus is that I have no clue what the colours might be--they could be completely new!
