    Sorry, far too early.
    These are just the seed leaves.
    Please wait for proper leaves ..then add pics to this thread.

      It looks familiar just can't place it.
      Has a similarity to morning glory, Ipomoea.

        I am now completely confused.
        The pot in your hand you say is Lobelia?????
        As in pic 2/3 and 4.
        I thought that was the plant that you wanted to know the name of.

        Other plant in 1st pic you say is Cosmos.

        Sorry for the confusion, I meant the plant behind the pot I'm holding is lobelia, the purple one that's blurred in the background

        2 mins ago you said it was Cosmos.

        Leaves do not look correct for Lobelia.

        Lol on the first photo, behind the unknown seedling is Cosmos.
        But the other photos where I'm holding the unknown seedling has blurred purple lobelia in the background.

        Right...mystery solved thanks.
        1st pic includes the Cosmos.
        Blue blur in pic 3 is the Lobelia.

        Think I need to go and lie down in a dark room.
        Getting too old.

              This has made me chuckle.

              The seed leaves, cotyledons, are usually very different to the first true leaves so, as mentioned, better to wait and see what develops.
