As you can see from the pics, they have very odd, thick, fleshy feeling first leaves that first open (the ones in the pic above are a little torn), and then out come the true leaves.
My guess is they're from one of the trees in the woods.... While we have a bunch of whirlybirds that come down in the fall, I figure those were maples...and this doesn't look like maple to me. Any ideas?
ADDENDUM: I realized the pics didn't really show the sprout very well - I should've given a better angle. Once the true leaves have started to develop some, I've realized they look familar, did a little searching, and am 99% certain they're beech sprouts. Hm. Beech. I wonder if I should see if it'd be worth saving one, potting it up, and see if it'll go nicely in the yard somewhere in future years?
