      Hi Upsy, been a long time but they remind me of Phlox leaves.

            Label.... What's this strange new word @pete :whistle:

            Hmm Verbascum sounds familiar, but not sure if I actually sowed any, leaves do look a bit similar though.
            I used the ( hopeless) identification app that I have and it suggested Northern Hawk's -Beard......to me that looks like a weed!!!

            Should I go and plant them all out ...what would you do?

              There's something familiar about that purple midrib but cant think what it is.
              I'd plant them out and take a chance on getting them in the right spot.

              How about putting one in a larger pot and keeping it under cover, it might develop faster and give a clue as to what it is.

              Have you rubbed the leaves for any kind of scent.

                Hmm that's a good idea, think I'll do that.

                No I haven't rubbed the leaves ... I 'll go and do that now and report back in a mo.

                      Thanks @shiney , again no recollection of sowing any.

                      Think Pete is right, I'll save a couple and chance planting the rest out.

                      You have to take risks in life..so they say. :heehee:
