Too Many Plants!

Any help...would be appreciated! This is from a recent '23 BX, and we planted Dec 2023.

Daubenya Alba

https://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/Daubenya

First emerging leaves since planting, and to me they don't look correct. I searched the web, and found no corresponding pics.

Any thoughts, opinions, experience on these guys???

Thanks and Happy New Year 🎇🥳🎆

I don't grow alba (I have sown it but had no germination), but do grow a couple of species and, assuming that the bulbs are comfortably beyond seedling size, that does not look right.

Like so many bulbs, seedling leaves of Daubenya are like very lush, thick grass for a couple of years/growing seasons, so your leaves don't look right even for very small bulbs.

Thanks for your input! As I was speculating... Time will tell, what we've got growing here.
