Help identify some seeds? was created by AttackSheep

Posted 8 years 3 weeks ago #28139
Good evening,

I bought some seeds off of Ebay a while ago and today they just came in. My problem however is that they didn't feel the need to label the seeds. I'm rather new to these species and I have a poor idea as to what I'm looking at. Here is the order:

*Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I can't get my order picture to show up. Here is an Imgur link:

And the seeds that I've got are:

It's definitely not the money tree, so I'm not worried about that. Nor do I think these are maple seeds. I believe the large seeds are the Sakura, but googling the juniper seeds they 'kinda' look alike. Also, if juniper seeds are large like that then that means either some orders got mixed, I didn't get what I paid for, or the Ebay gods simply hate me.

I'm going to guess the pack with the million seeds are the desert rose seeds. But I wan't to be sure, and I'm too ignorant on bonsai to start flinging seeds into pots and praying for the best. Thank you all.

Bonus question: with a pack of 2 million seeds, is there a best way to plant them if you're looking to make bonsai trees out of them? Or simply follow the suggested googled germination route?

This is a good reason to only by from reputed traders. You will get what you ordered.

I do not know what you have,. But the junipers and maples I have sown in the apst look different.

Note though, starting bonsai from seed is not really realistic unless you know what you are doing and have a few decades. I would -also- het some mature plants to work on while you wait 5 years before you can do anything with these.

You have been scammed. These 'rare color maples' do not exist.

Well damn, I thought they looked awfully interesting as I've never seen a blue maple. But I do like starting bonsai trees from seeds. I have a 3D printer and I use it to print 'scaffolding' to guide my trees as they grow as opposed to using wire. So far it's working out for me.

I'm a bit sad though that I have to deal with this. I was really excited to get these little guys going. All together it's just 20$. What a load of BS.

It's photoshopped. We've had a topic about it:
